Interesting approach. While reading your article, an idea occurred to me. Why not simply offset the dragged item to be a few pixels below the cursor as soon as the drag begins. Then you don't have the empty box in the middle, you don't need to create 4 divs, and you still get the benefit of triggering DOM events like you want. I had no idea that the dragdrop library worked like you wrote; that's probably a major reason it gets really slow with a lot of droppables.
