The placeholder will not move correctly when container is manually scrolled.

Hey, Jonny.
Thanks for your plugin first, I really like it.

Maybe it is an asked question, but it really confused me.

I'm handling a long list, I want to move the item from beginning to end, so I bind 'mousemove' listener and manually scroll the container.

But the placeholder will not update with the 'scroll', it just stays. I think maybe I should also update the position of the placeholder manually, so I read the source code but still could not figure it out.

Could you tell me is there a way to scroll and update the placeholder?

Damn, I deleted my comment. Did you get, what I wrote?

The short version is, you need to customize onDrag. See http://johnny.github.io/jquery-sortable/#connected for an example.

If you post your solution, I will make an example out of it.

I've got answer on my email.

Quote:
The best place would be to hook into the onDrag function, which gets called on mousemove. It defaults to

function ($item, position, _super) {
$item.css(position)
}
position holds the value to set the absolutely positioned $item. See http://johnny.github.io/jquery-sortable/#connected for a custom onDrag function.

Please report back if this worked for you. If you get this working, could you post your solution in this thread? I would be willing to add an example with this behaviour.

Thanks for your help!
