jQuery UI: Drag and clone from original div, but keep clones

Question

I have a div, which has jQuery UI Draggable applied. What I want to do, is click and drag that, and create a clone that is kept in the dom and not removed when dropped.

Here was his solution:

$(".box-clone").live('mouseover', function() {
    $(this).draggable({ 
        axis: 'y',
        containment: 'html'
    });
});
$(".box").draggable({ 
    axis: 'y',
    containment: 'html',
    helper: 'clone'
    stop: function(event, ui) {
        $(ui.helper).clone(true).removeClass('box ui-draggable ui-draggable-dragging').addClass('box-clone').appendTo('body');
    }
});
