jQuery 2D drag and drop element (Not absolute position)

Question

I am going put external element into inner html using drag & drop. So I assume like this. This is inner html.

<div class="inner_html">
   <div class="title">
     <h1>This is title</h1>
   </div>
   <div class="body">
     <li>this is element</li>
     <a>element</a>
   </div>
</div>

Here is external html. <div>This is external element</div>

I am going to drag external element and drop into inner html. So final element can get a lot of results. I think if position were absolute, then it can be done easily using jquery draggable plugin. But I don't want absolute position. just want to put into inner html.

Can anyone help me?

Consider the following code.

$(function() {
  $(".drag > div").draggable();
  $(".inner_html").droppable({
    drop: function(e, ui) {
      ui.draggable.css({
        top: "",
        left: "",
        position: "inherit"
      }).appendTo($(".inner_html"));
    }
  });
});

.inner_html {
  width: 340px;
  background: #ccc;
  padding: 1em;
  margin-bottom: 20px;
}

.inner_html>div {
  background: white;
  border: 1px solid #222;
  border-radius: 3px;
}

.drag {
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  width: 340px;
}
