Rails spinoffs - Sep 2005 - Draggables - without moving the original element

I''m needing to implement some drag and drop in a way that leaves the 
clicked element where it is, and carries a new element over to my 
Droppable. Its analogous to a shopping cart: I want to drag a 
representation of an item into my cart, but leave the original item 
intact in the main product list. Does anyone have any tips on how to 
approach this? Its seems to use scriptaculous'' dragdrop.js library 
(which I''m already heavily invested in) I''m going to have to
perform
some sleight of hand somehow to switch in a different element when the 
drag starts.
This is complicated by the presence of other event handlers on the same 
element - I cant simply overlay a element that gets dragged as that same 
element has other behaviour - like a rollover - so I need it to receive 
the mouseover etc. events.

thanks for any pointers.

Adding ghosting: true to the Draggable options should do the trick.
