Hi Brian, we are currently working on a major rewrite on Drag & Drop for Interface 2. Hopefully I will have the time to release a alpha version soon enough. With this new code, you will be able to create a "proxy" (we name it helper), that looks like you want. the property helper is able to accept a function (with a reference to the original element) which just have to return a valid DOM node.
For now, you can "hack" it if you want, by accessing the onstart callback, which also gives you a reference to the helper, then replace the helper by something you want. I'll keep the list updated, -Paul 2007/2/23, Circlefusion <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I use the word "proxy" because that is how it is worded in YUI. I'm referring to the ghosted element that is physically being dragged along with the cursor during a drag and drop. It seems that the interface plugin drag and drop function creates a copy of the element being dragged. I've found that this causes problems when dragging table rows in IE. The ghosted element either doesn't display, or it ends up dragging the entire table as the ghosted element. I can get it to work by sticking divs inside the table rows and using those as the draggable elements, but that seems like a silly solution. It would be ideal to be able to define a "proxy" element to be used during the drag. That way I can define CSS just for that element to affect how the ghosted image appears. I can also use a div for this ghosted element to represent the table row that I'm trying to drag. Or I could use an image for the ghosted element. Does JQuery/Interface provide a way to use a proxy element during a drag and drop?
