Hi there, thanks again for the replies.
The .sortHelper class indicates to the user where the panels can be
moved to. What I'm actually after is like the bbc.co.uk have, where
when you pick up a panel (eg. news), a grey, curved border appears
around the whole panel itself, (assuming it must be set of .pngs) and
when you drop the panel in it's place, the 'border' element
disappears. I hope this makes sense.
Thanks
