I'm trying to make a "picture palette", where you have a bunch of images and can drag & drop them to replace the image in a particular div.
Drag works, the drop event registers, but the passed ui object doesn't seem to contain a clone of the dragged image as expected. What's wrong?
ui.helper is an array with 1 element. Console logging is an excellent feature that helps debug javascript. You need to either have Chrome, or Firefox with "Developer Tools" plugin installed.
console.log(ui.helper);
Outputs:
[<img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" class="ui-draggable" style="position: absolute; left: 1px; top: 28px; opacity: 1; ">]
