I see.
So, the helper is basically the element you're dragging, so you can
see what you're dragging. Now I understand.
But there are still problems.
1. My table's is width 100%, and when the helper comes in, the row I'm
dragging (or at least its clone that appears) hasn't got the 100%
width property anymore. Its width is equal to the width of the text
inside the cells of the row.
2. The cells starting from the no. 2 position shift to the right when
dragging a row.
These problems appear only in Firefox. Firefox 3. In IE6 and 7 it
works perfectly. (weird, huh? :) )
Thanks,
Dan
