Is the drag and drop quiz function poorly implemented?

I attempted to use the drag/drop quiz function but found it nearly useless. Am I using it correctly?


I have a question where I have 9 items which need to match up to one of two halfs of a graphic, as such:


................................................ image (two sides)

item 1


|


|

item 2


| ............|.............|

item 3


| ............|.............|

item 4


| ............|.............|

item 5


| ............|.............|

item 6


|_________________|


i.e. items (text) 1-3 should be dragged to left side of image, items 4-6 should be dragged to right side of image.


The problem is that I have little control over the drag/drop area placement. I have NO control over the size of the area (where the text should be dragged to). The drag/drop area is only the size of the text and/or it spans the entire length of the image.


Excuse me, I am kind of frustrated b/c with this the perfect question candidate for a drag/drop and now I find I cannot use it.


Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
