title: jQuery UI's Sortable - how do I style my 'li.ui-state-highlight' ?, always comes up white bg color
body: <pre><code>        $("#sortable").sortable({
              placeholder: '.ui-state-highlight'
          });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Above that I have in my stylesheet, .ui-state-highlight { background-color: #F6F698; height: 1.5em; line-height: 1.2em; border: dashed 1px gray; }, and whenever I drag an li, the placeholder has just a black border, looks exactly like the normal li's, #sortable li { overflow: auto; margin: 0 0 5px 0; padding: 5px; border: solid 1px black; }.  Am I doing something wrong?  Or missing anything??  Thanks!  When I drag an li, I notice a  shows up, and maybe it's a problem that there's no inner html in that li?  It's closed off immediately (" />" at the end), so maybe it needs an &nbsp; in there?</p>
