Hello community,

I am a fairly new RoR programmer and I need some help with  
Scriptaculous Drag and Drop:

So I have

\<%= draggable\_element(@div\_id, :revert =\> “failure”, :snap =\> 5) -%\>

and a droppable:

\<%= drop\_receiving\_element(@team\_div\_id, :with =\> “‘player=’ +  
(element.id)+ ‘&position=’ + #{draft\_position}” ,:complete =\>  
visual\_effect(:highlight), :update=\>“status” , :url =\> { :action =\>  
“receive\_drop”}, :hoverclass =\> ‘hover’ ) %\>  
\<% end %\>

I would like to allow the draggable to “snap” to a droppable position  
if close or revert back to its original position if it isnt near a  
droppable.

I have searched over the net but I have been unsuccessful with this  
issue. I understand there’s the Snap option but I want it to snap INTO  
a droppable when close or go back to its original position.

Can anyone help me with this, or point me in the right position?  
Essentially its just “Snap to a grid” but I have been unable to find a  
simple example. I appreciate the help!
