An actual example online would help. Your ascii graphics are a nice try, but don't really communicate your issue very well.

Hello, I am new to the jquery library (used prototype before) and this group, so if I am not posting this question at the rigth list, please tell me where to post it. I am building a page where the user has to drag items from a list to the right boxes. Right now I have a div with two boxes below each other, and below those four items (see Fig 1.). When the user drags the item to a box and releases it, it has to stay in the box (aligned to the box). Fig 1. init. state Fig 2. ghost. false Fig 3. ghost false +-----------------------------+ +----------------------------- + +-----------------------------+ +-----------------------------+ | Box 1 | | Box 1 | | Box 1 | | Box 1 | | | | Item 1 | | Item 1 | | Item 1 | +-----------------------------+ +-------------------^--------- + +-----------------------------+ +---------------------- ^------+ +-----------------------------+ +----------------------------- + +-----------------------------+ +-----------------------------+ | Box 2 | | Box 2 | | Box 2 | | Box 2 | | | | | | | | | +-----------------------------+ +----------------------------- + +-----------------------------+ +-----------------------------+ Item 1 Item 2 Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Item 2 Item 2 Item 3 Item 4 Item 3 Item 3 Item 4 Item 4 Item 4 Now the little problem I have is that if I initialize the draggables with the option 'ghosting: false' and I start to drag the first item the position of the others is changed, they move upwards (Fig 2.). When I release the item in a box, the items move back to their original position leaving a gap where the dragged item was (Fig 3.). When ghosting is true, the item is cloned and the other items stay in line (Fig 4.). But I do not want the item cloned. So I tried setting the visibility of the item to hidden, did not work (visibility of the dragged item is set to hidden). Tried to set iDrag.helper to hidden did not work either. Has anyone any idea how to solve this? I could set a demo somewhere online to show what I mean if someone wants that. Regards, Chris
