Sortable: Apply cursor stylings to the helper directly instead of the body of document

Sortable: Apply cursor stylings to the helper directly instead of the body of the page to make certain that the style sticks. Fixes #7389 - Sortable 'cursor' option does not override cursor settings for affected DOM object

I've tested this fix in Firefox 4, 3.6, IE 6,7,8,9, and Chrome 11

This change is not compatible with the cursorAt option http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Sortable#option-cursorAt

Hmmm. The only thing that would work would be adding !important to the cursor class on the body, which doesn't seem allowed outside of classes in a style sheet. I could always dynamically create a class, but I get a bad taste in my mouth just thinking about it. :-P

I think we'll just need to look at this again when we do the sortable rewrite.

What is the reason for applying these styles with JavaScript – and that in a fashion that makes overriding the cursor hard or impossible? I’m trying to add cursor-grabbing (with -wekbit- and -moz-) using CSS (I know, crazy, right?) to .ui-sortable-helper, with no luck thus far.

@Haraldson The rewrite won't do that.

@scottgonzalez Rewrite, as in a total rewrite/new major version of UI? Sorry, haven’t been following the project that closely, but if that’s the case, that’s really good news! :)

Yes, though this is not the appropriate location to discuss this.
