Rails spinoffs - Jul 2005 - unmovable items on sortables...

The "Sortable lists demo" is almost perfect for a project, but once
you drag all the items from the first list to the second, you cannot
drag back to the first.  I need to be able to have several <ul>s that
can be dragged back and forth between, even when one is emptied.

Possible solutions?

1) create a <li> that is styled as a header, and is unmovable

2) modify the <ul>''s CSS so that even when it is empty, it still
can
be dropped upon.

3) don''t use the Sortable.create, instead create using primitives:
drop_receiving_element, draggable_element.

Any recommendations?

That would work I guess, but requires the handle on every LI but the header LI.

Will not work. It is not the UL-s that catch the dragged element, but
the LI-s. Only they are droppables.
 
Making the UL-s droppables does work, but requires some more work to
wrap things up, see my mail about nested sortables.
