Problem in long word

Hi I need help please I tweak some code here from the previous thread, my problem is that if I have a long word when I drop to the droppable area I need to center the the word in the green line in order to drop the word. is there a way that I will not center the word and I can drop immediately drop no need to center the word in the green line?

Thank you in advance.

well, you could make your entire sentence the drop zone, but it may get hairy if you try to put more than one drop slot in a sentence…

I believe there’s a tolerance option that allows you to just touch the line.


$("#drop-em > li > span").droppable({
    tolerance: "touch",
    drop: function(ev, ui) {
etc....
