jQuery iframeFix on a Sortable

Question

Hello!

On my CMS I have a list of thumbnails (Sortable). The thumbnails work great and now I'm writing a plug-in to drag-them to a tinyMCE window.

As the tinyMCE window has an iFrame it doesn't work that well.

jQuery has an option for Draggables called iframeFix that works exactly as I need. However that list must be a Sortables. I've looked quite extensively on Google and found no-one with my requirements. Has anyone here on StackOverflow done it?

Apply the iframeFix to a Sortables?

If not... I'm on my way to a jQuery plug-in.

Thank you in advance!

I've done it.

You need to have a DIV on top of the iFrame to let the Draggable/Sortable flow without problems. So I used jQuery to create a DIV right on top of the iframe. Then it show's it when you grab the element and destroys it when you drop it. Works like a charm. If anyone is in need of something like that let me know.
