[OpenLayers-Users] Dragging a DOM element onto an OpenLayers map

[Kevin Marsh]

Brad,

Thanks... I started fiddling with jQueruy/UI draggable stuff (which  
was a lot of fun, seeing as how their doc site is/was down).. and it's  
relatively straight forward. Here's some code I came up with:

   http://gist.github.com/3304

I figured out the z-index after about 20 minutes of banging my head  
against the wall with Firebug (which was an extreme asset in figure  
this all out).

I'm stumbling right now on extracting the proper x/y and lat/long from  
OpenLayers. I'm not sure if clientX/Y is the correct property to  
access, since it seems to be affected by the position of the map div  
on the page.

Thanks,
Kevin
