I'm having some problems with a draggable list item and dragging it to a nearby textarea inside of another div. (See http://dev.toolbox.learningfocused.com/tests/planner/unit.html for reference)
I have 2 issues: 1) In IE, the zIndex doesn't appear to be working properly and won't allow me to drag the element out of the list and drop it in the droppable container. (A textarea in my instance). This works perfectly in Firefox. I tried setting zIndex to 999 and it had no affect. Not sure where to begin since I figured the zIndex option would take care of all of these issues since I only have z-index defined for a few of the elements in the DOM. 2) In IE, when you start dragging the helper clone, the clone is created about 30-40 pixels below the original and the cursor. It looks as if when the UI gets the parents offset, it is pulling a bad value from somewhere and causing the item to not be rendered in the correct position on the screen. Ideas? Again, this works perfectly in Firefox. I'm using some additional code to drop the text of the draggable into the textarea as you will notice if you view source on the page.
