How to get _dragdrop working

Hi,
I have an application where one of the action users can do is drag and drop. I have used the following code but the drag&drop does not work - i.e. the element is not dragged. The log show everything was successful and there are no errors.
Are there any working examples of this function that I can refer.
Thanks in advance.
Nav
_include("VLincludes.sah");
login("demo", "demo");
gotoReportDesign();
_wait(3000);
_click(_image("New Report"));
_wait(3000);
_mouseOver(_cell("Data source[1]"));
_wait(1000);
_dragDropXY(_cell("Data source[1]"), 20, 20, false);

It is generally better to use _dragDrop(elementToDrag, elementToDropOn) if that works.
I tried with this statement as well - but no luck. I can click on the cell with the below element and that is the one that gets dragged.
_dragDrop(top.document.getElementsByTagName('table')[128].rows[0].cells[2], _div("baseLayer"));
I have asked the dev team (overseas) as well if they can point be to the appropiate element. The controller in record mode definitely shows it as a cell.
Thanks.

May be some overlaid element is visible on mousedown. If you can tell us what UI framework your application uses, we may be able to find an example online.
