I have a div, which has jQuery UI Draggable applied. What I want to do, is click and drag that, and create a clone that is kept in the dom and not removed when dropped.
Here is what I finally did that worked:
$(".box-clone").live('mouseover', function() {
$(this).draggable({
axis: 'y',
containment: 'html'
});
});
$(".box").draggable({
axis: 'y',
containment: 'html',
helper: 'clone',
stop: function(event, ui) {
$(ui.helper).clone(true).removeClass('box ui-draggable ui-draggable-dragging').addClass('box-clone').appendTo('body');
}
});
