positioned elements draggable without flickering.
The scriptaculous startDrag function doesn't notify the draggable
element of the onStart method until after the left/right co-ordinates
have been initialised, so there's no opportun
That's a pretty good workaround I guess. I had a little confusion
implementing it because I used a "handle" for the draggable, but
"observe"d the click on the draggable element, which had the left

said previosuly. I did some more testing and found I still needed to
catch the onEnd event to clean-up after unusual cases such as when the
element is dragged off screen in IE...
