From your description, I'm not sure what the issue is.
A clearer description might help. First, describe what you're
expecting to happen (I'm not clear on this), then explain what is
occurring and emphasize how the two are different (I'm not clear on
this part either).
Lastly, it always speeds helpers along if you can post a mock-up too.
For complex problems, particularly with draggables, trying to debug
without seeing source code is like calling NPR's "Car Talk." It's
sometimes entertaining, but it doesn't get the car fixed.
