Rails spinoffs - Jul 2005 - Dropping on empty script.aculo.us sortable lists

I have a need to have two sortable lists with the ability to cross drop 
items between the list. I am using the
script.aculo.us<http://script.aculo.us>library. All is well until I
empty one of the lists completely out, at which
time I cannot drop anything in to the empty list. I have used CSS to set the 
height of the <UL> so I have a large target to drop on.

In my efforts to make it work, I have added <LI> elements that do not have
the same class name I have defined in the only: attribute hoping that if 
there were any items in the list things would work. This failed as well. 

Any ideas?

With the current version, it''s not possible to do the drag-and-drop  
between lists with emtied-out lists, except with some tricks (like  
making the <UL> into a droppable when the last element exits).

I plan to have that in in the next version of script.aculo.us, as  
time permits :)

Note that the <UL> is not involved in the drag-and-drop operations at  
all, so it won''t help to change the size of it.
