Freakin’ brilliant . . . so many other sites out there have 10 times as much code but don’t work as well (or at all).

Any ideas on how to submit the sortable list items in the order they’ve been arranged to a php/mysql database solution?

Great! just what i needed… couldnt figure out why i could not drop a DRAGGABLE item in a SORTABLE container until i moved an item from the SORTABLE first… very weird but working now, thanks!

Thanks! $(‘mySortable’).sortable(‘refresh’); solved my problem!
I was trying to debug this for a few days… I didn’t see any reason why I couldn’t drop any draggable on my sortable if I didn’t refresh first…
Is there a bug report on this?

That refresh call was just what I needed. Great find – thanks for publishing it!

Thanks a lot stickman, that was neat. But i’m wondering how do you now get the items back from the sortable to the drag-pool again? Suppose the user wants to undo a selection and remove an item from the sort list? Thanks again.

I would be interested to know why you decided to switch from MooTools….

this example is exactly what i need to do. I changed the selector for the sortable to be a class and it doesn’t seem to work in doing it this way. think i am missing something else?

here is a snippet of my code:
$(“ul.droptrue > li”).draggable({
helper:’clone’,
connectToSortable:’.dropCatch’,
opacity: .50,
});
