You need to put the script that creates the draggable below the element you want to be draggable. Pages are parsed sequentially by browsers, so your javascript is being evaluated in the HEAD, long before the element you are trying to reference has been built by the browser. I'm surprised you aren't seeing javascript errors galore. The alternative is to create the draggable in an onload event, but that is not evaluated until all images are loaded (this was a topic of discussion last week, and there is a complex workaround, so look at the archives for more info if you want).
