can't get drop_receiving_element to work

Any idea what's wrong with this snippet? Looks pretty simple to me. Yet no matter what I try, the drop_receiving_element helper causes an error.

<div id="dropFoo" class="pink box">drop here</div> <%= drop_receiving_element('dropFoo', :hoverclass => 'hover') %>

I also tried <% drop_receiving_element :dropFoo as this seems the preferred syntax in Raymond's AoR. Same problem, though.

Thanks, -S.

The error message: NoMethodError in Test#draggables2

Showing test/draggables2.html.erb where line #2 raised:

You have a nil object when you didn't expect it! You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base. The error occurred while evaluating nil.

Extracted source (around line #2):

1: <div id="dropFoo" class="pink box">drop green here</div> 2: <%= drop_receiving_element('dropFoo', :hoverclass => 'hover') %>
