Using jQuery UI draggable, how can I use a callback function on hover over a droppable object?

Question

I need to append text to a cloned helper object when it's dragged over a droppable object.

Is there a way to trigger a callback on hover over a droppable object?

If I understand correctly, you want something to happen when the draggable is over the droppable?

If so, just use the over event:

$('.iamdroppable').droppable({

over: function() {  
//do something here
},

});

Awarded answer. My secondary question was another problem in the draggable drag event. Removed for clarity. Thanks again. – Ryan May 10 at 16:09
