Drag and Drop without moving an item

Question

Hi, I'm using drag and drop from jQuery, and what I want to try and simulate is drag and drop, except during the drag and drop movement. I do not want the element to really move from its place.

In the example here: http://jsfiddle.net/2LN5G/ , when you drag "Drag me to the target", it moves from the list and comes back when it is dropped. I want to show "Drag me to the target at the current position and show" Drag me to the target "by moving the cursor. Is this possible?

Check out the visual feedback example on jQueryUI.com .

Basically, you want to specify a helper option when calling a method .draggable().

$(".draggable").draggable({
  helper: "clone"
});
