</div>

in one of my partials, I was using the following code (made it  
short…)

 \<% for work in @works %\> - \<%= work.title -%\> 

 \<%= draggable\_element "work\_#{work.id}", :revert =\> true %\> \<% end %\>

due to an issue with the overflow:scroll + drag/drop , I need to  
change the helper for a more complicated script, and I don’t see how  
to set the id of the

- , something like “work\_\<%= work.id -%\>” or  
“work\_#{work.id}”  
the script is the following : where xxx should be the work.id

btw this script runs well, and help drag an item from a  
overflow:scroll container above all other areas…  
just need to load   
before prototype and scriptaculous…

thanks for any clue …
