Subject: Re: [jQuery] Question about access to "ghost" objects created by 
Interface Draggable

Hi Scott,

You can access the ghost element by keeping a reference to it when the dragging 
starts. 'onStart' callback gets as first parameter the cloned element. Another 
way to access it as $.iDrag.helper.get(0).firstChild.

You ca hack to access drag properties of an element directly 
DOMElement.dragCfg.[revert|fx]

Hi,
 
Just recently started evaluating jQuery (some great stuff!) as a replacement 
for an existing JS framework that has proven to be a performance/management 
nightmare (won't mention any names). 
 
Now for the task at hand, is there a simple way to access the "ghost" object 
created by the Draggable object?  Reason I ask is that I need to be able to 
change the style of the ghost object as it passes over valid (Droppables) and 
invalid drop areas (everything else).  I know YUI!'s drag and drop API Allows 
you access to both its proxy (same idea as ghost) and linked (the original 
target) object via function calls but I can't seem to find anything in the 
Droppable code that provides for this.
 
Another question I have is regarding programmatically changing the value of 
"revert" and/or "fx" properties on the Draggable object.  Is it possible?  I 
would like to have the animation fx apply when a Draggable is dropped on an 
invalid target as the Draggable returns to its original position.
 
Regards,
Scott
