Accessing helper clone of draggable element

I am applying .draggable() with helper: clone to an element. I also have droppable elements. Events triggered by any of the droppable elements fire a callback with signature

function (event, ui)

Within this function, $(this) refers to the droppable element, and ui.draggable to the draggable element (not the helper clone).

How can I access the helper clone from within the callback function?

ui.helper does the job. Shame it's not well documented. Had to inspect the source.

You can try this in the callback method.

var helper = $( ".selector" ).draggable( "option", "helper" );

Where .selector is the element on which you have applied the draggable plugin.
