I am having trouble with draggable\_element and come IE7 css. I have a  
list where I want the items in the list to be draggable. I need the  
list to have a fixed height so I would like a scrollbar. I use  
overflow:auto and everything works great in Firefox and Safari. But  
IE doesn’t respect the overflow:hidden. Well, it kind of does. It  
creates the scroll bars but lets everything spill out past it.

After some testing I tracked it down to calling draggable\_element on  
the list items. If I remove that then everything displays  
correctly.

You can see an example here:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
