ok, first off. i love script.aculo.us! anywho on to business. the hoverclass doesn''t seem to work in the sortables.create. and the handle doesn''t work (yeah i have the id="handle" ) this is what i have .. Sortable.create("left",{dropOnEmpty:true,tag:''span'',containment:["left","middle","right"],constraint:false,handle:''handle'',hoverclass:"sub_block_green"}); anouther thing i need to know is, can i use a call back when i''m dragging an element thats part of the sortable floats? AND the sortable floats doesn''t seem to work correctly on firefox, here''s the page so you can take a look at it, and see what i mean. http://devplace.be/Silhouette/test.php? look at this page in both firefox and IE. it works much better in IE. It seems like i can only sort the elements vertically in IE while i can''t in firefox. i can move them in all directions but they will only attach to the bottom of each column!? also, the divs that are elements being dragged tend to be misaligned with the mouse on occasion, and sometimes completely off the browser edges, like FAR off the edges. any help with help! thanks jaimz
