Rails spinoffs - May 2006 - Dragging a copy of an image and then reverting

I''d like to drag images onto drop zones.  I have a working demo with
one
problem: the image leaves the dock and then "snaps back" to it:

    (broken -- image leaves dock during drag then snaps back)
    http://u32.net/junq/imlib-demo-1/

I can get the image to remain in the dock during the drag using
''ghosting:true''.  But how do I keep the original in the dock
after the
move?

    (broken: image moves off the dock after the drag)
    http://u32.net/junq/imlib-demo-1/

I tried playing around with reverts but didn''t get anywhere:

<script type="text/javascript">new
Draggable(''image1'', {ghosting:true,
reverteffect: function(e,t,l) { e.setStyle({left: l, top:
t}) }})</script>

Any ideas?  Thank you,

    - Scott

Ack!  Sorry, that link should, of course, have been

Disable ghosting (so it doesn''t try to do this for you) and clone the 
node yourself (much like ghosting does). Then if the drag fails delete 
the clone (allowing the revert to move the element back). If the drag 
succeeds then you can leave the cloned node. You may need to make the 
clone into a draggable so it is ready to be dragged again.

Enable ghosting, create a revert function that instantly sets the img node back
into place.

I''ll see if I can whip up some code tomorrow if you don''t
state you overcame your problem. It is time for me to call it quits for today.
