Rails spinoffs - Jul 2006 - Scriptaculous + Sortable: onUpdate Not Firing

Hello all,

I''m using Scriptaculous 1.6.1 on a project I''m developing. My
generated HTML (generated by PHP) looks something like this:

<ul id="admin-list">
     <li id="li-13">Singletary, Bob (President/CEO)</li>
     <li id="li-12">Chatman, Jim (Vice President of
Finance/CFO)</li>
     ...
</ul>
<script type="text/javascript">
Sortable.create(''admin-list'', { onUpdate: function() { alert 
(''Updated!''); } });
</script>

When the page loads, I can drag and drop the LI nodes, as expected.  
However ... the onUpdate event never seems to fire, as I never get an  
alert.

If I change the onUpdate to onChange, it fires fine, of course each  
time an LI node changes position.

The odd thing is that I''ve successfully used very similar code in a  
previous project, in several places, with no problem. I''m at a  
complete loss here ... I''ve looked over the code for a few minutes  
for several days now, and can''t see anything obvious I''m doing
wrong.

Ideas?

Thanks,
Jeremy
