Thanks dude. Did you submit a patch over this? Or was it ignored like every
patch I submit.
I'll give it a shot, but I've just spent some time working around this problem (but I've run in to
it a couple of times). I realised that my application didn't really need DnD, and a button to copy
the data would be more usable. Thanks anyway though :-)
Hm that's the problem with DnD, If your intended audience is assumed to be competant, there are
usually better UIs than dragging elements around the place (if your scope is limited).

You may want to change it slighty, for instance, so that ghosting is not

that's just how I did it...

Subject: RE: [Rails-spinoffs] Draggables and overflow:auto
See the attached file (I changed the extension to .txt to get past my
company's email security -- it doesn't like .js files)
My dragdrop.js file is quite different from the official released
versions.. so beware, you might want to spend some time looking at a
side by side diff before trying to deploy it or copy changes over.
Basically, what I did to overcome the problem you described, is on drag
init, if the draggable has the option "ghosting" and "floating" both set
to true, I clone the element and attach it at the document level instead
of the container level. Therefore, it can now be dragged throughout the
entire document instead of just within the container it was originally
created within...
My dragdrop.js file also contains general optimizations to the droppales
processing (makes dragging MUCH smoother when you have multiple
droppables on the page... see my past posts on the same topic).
Hopefully, you'll at least be able to see what I did to solve the
problem you are having, and if anything copy that logic to your own
application...

Subject: [Rails-spinoffs] Draggables and overflow:auto
Hey guys. I'm trying to drag between two lists, except one list is
really long so I set a height on the <ul> with overflow:auto.
Unfortunately when I drag between the lists I can't drag items outside
of the <ul> with the overflow on. Does anyone know how I can make this
work? I think I might be able to hack up something with rico's live
tables, but that seems a bit overkill. Any advice appreciated :-)
Oh the ul is in a div with a width that is floated right. Dunno if that
makes a difference, some people on the intarweb have mentioned it
though.
Cheers
