Cant trigger a jquery drag event properly

Question

I'm trying to trigger the drag event of a div named ts1 when user drags the mouse anywhere in the body.

the div ts1 has a drag function on it (jquery tagsphere). What i'm trying actually to achieve is to trigger $('#ts1').tagsphere() or something

after about 3-4 hours testing and looking for answers, this is my best result:

$('body').bind("drag dragstart dragend",function(event){
            $("#ts1").trigger(event);
            return false;
        });

BUT this still doesn't trigger it....

why? what am i doing wrong? is there a solution out there already that works? cant seem to find 1

EDIT

Sorry guys...seems to be too complicated for me..abandoning post.

It seems the dragging function isn't bound to 'ts1' but rather a different element created by the tagsphere function, thus making my question irrelevent.

use triggerHandler instead of trigger :

$('body').bind("drag dragstart dragend",function(event){
                    $("#ts1").triggerHandler('drag');
                    return false;
                });
