This is an age old problem - but now I'm using scriptaculous its come back to haunt me. When dragging a tree node over other tree nodes I want mouseover to fire for each node. So I want to position the dragging thing so that its top-left is slightly offset from the mousepointer

I could reposition constantly in the onDrag handler but this is jerky and slow

can anyone help? - thanks
