I am brand-new to jQuery (though I am an experienced programmer)
I have a sample page whose behavior I'm not understanding (see the
code that follows this post)

You will need jquery & jquery-ui in the same directory. When you
double-click the div 'center', a new div will be created at the double-
click point. This works fine. However, if you uncomment the .draggable
() line in addDiv the new div will be created at some offset from the
double-click point.

Can anyone give me insight into what's going on in jQuery-ui that
causes this offset and how I might fix it?

Thank you
