Rails spinoffs - Oct 2005 - Passing a draggable element''s attributes to controller on drop

I''ve browsed the list and noticed a few similar questions in the
archive about maintaining the position of a draggable element after
dropping it ... but I couldn''t find any conclusion about the problem. 
Has there been anyone found or implemented a solution?  Or does
prototype still need to be extended to allow the persistence of the
draggable object''s position?

I''m just trying to drag divs around the page and have them keep their
position when I drop them (I *think* what I want to do is just pass
the difference between originalLeft and originalTop and the moveTo
values to the controller and just update that record''s coordinate
fields in the database).  Is this possible?
