Rails spinoffs - Aug 2006 - Sortables dropping text.

Am dropping from one sortable list to another.  The onscreen display
looks correct (the drop is reflected, but the text does not seem to
transfer -- Sortable.serialize returns something like
firstlist[]rather than
firstlist[]=ORDOGVTP

(If I drop two elements, serialize returns something like

firstlist[]=&firstlist[]
Before I drag anything, my lists (in source view), look like:

<div style="float:left;">
<strong>Displayed columns</strong>
<ul class="sortabledemo" id="firstlist"
name="firstlist"
style="width:100%;">
</ul>
</div>

<div style="float:left;">
<strong><br>Available columns</strong>
<ul class="sortabledemo" id="secondlist"
name="firstlist"
style="width:100%;">
<li class=''green'' id=''available_''
name=''available_''>OGVORDNBR</li>
<li class=''green'' id=''available_''
name=''available_''>OGVORDSTS</li>
<li class=''green'' id=''available_''
name=''available_''>OGVORDCST</li>
<li class=''green'' id=''available_''
name=''available_''>OGVTRPMOD</li>
<li class=''green'' id=''available_''
name=''available_''>OGVSELHUB</li>
</ul>
</div>

And the aculo stuff looks like

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
 // <![CDATA[
   Sortable.create("firstlist",

{dropOnEmpty:true,containment:["firstlist","secondlist"],constraint:false});
   Sortable.create("secondlist",

{dropOnEmpty:true,handle:''handle'',containment:["secondlist","firstlist"
],constraint:false});
 // ]]>
 </script>


Any ideas why I''m not getting the list text in the Serialize call?

Hi,

the results are correct, because Sortable.serialize does not retrun
the content of the sortable items, but the identifier part of your
ids. And this part is empty, because this is the part after the
underscore. Another problem is that your code is not valid HTML,
because the ids must be unique, which they aren''t. So change your list
to somthing like:

<li class=''green''
id=''available_OGVORDNBR''
name=''available_''>OGVORDNBR</li>
<li class=''green''
id=''available_OGVORDSTS''
name=''available_''>OGVORDSTS</li>
<li class=''green''
id=''available_OGVORDCST''
name=''available_''>OGVORDCST</li>
<li class=''green''
id=''available_OGVTRPMOD''
name=''available_''>OGVTRPMOD</li>
<li class=''green''
id=''available_OGVSELHUB''
name=''available_''>OGVSELHUB</li>

and everything will work as expected. For more information take a look
at: http://wiki.script.aculo.us/scriptaculous/show/Sortable.serialize

Hope that helps,

Tim
