Hello, I use dragOver event to animate a div but I noticed it is jumpy, it seems to get queued. is there a way to get the dragOver events in real-time or should I resort to jQuery event binding.

Thanks

Can you give more detail about the object that you’ve added the event to and what you’re doing to animate the element?

In my case I am implementing file drag and I want animate a helper element based on the event coordinated. for example ( pseudo code )

```
App.DroppableView = Ember.View.exted({
 dragEnter: function(){
    App.fileHelperView = Ember.View.create({}).append();
  },
  dragOver: function(e){
    App.fileHelperView.$().css({transition:"translate3d("+e.clientX+","+e.clientY+","1)"});
  }

```

});

If you can make a JSFiddle and post on Stack Overflow you’d get better support.
