Hey - does anyone know how to put a dotted lined around the target  
drop point using the sortable\_element? For example - those that use  
iGoogle - if you move your modules around you will see the target drop  
points noted with a dotted line before you actually release the mouse.

Here is my code:

 \<% for user in @all\_users %\> - \<%= user.name %\>
 \<% end %\>

\<%= sortable\_element ‘user\_list’,  
:url =\> {:action =\> ‘sort\_user\_list’ },  
:scroll =\> ‘window’ %\>

Thanks in advance!
