Hi,

I need to show a div over the some items in a sortable list. This div shows information and needs to be use as handle for the sortable item.

The problem is that this div is located outside the items (at the end of the body), and since sortable handle option only looks for child elements (because it uses a .find() to look for) it's not finding it.

handle: 'div#highlight',

At the moment I'm positioning the highlight div over the sortable items on mouse over, and showing some info related to the items, it's only one highlight div but it's moved to the element you're over on.

I need that when I start dragging (clicking over this highlight div) I can drag the item behind. Is that possible? Making it "transparent" to behind events?

I cannot add the ouside div inside the items elements.
