Rails spinoffs - Feb 2006 - sorting <a href..> with D&D follows the link (browser thinks I click)

Hi all,

I''ve just added d&d sorting to a list where each item is a link_to
..
Problem: when I drop an item to its new location, the browser think I 
clicked, and follows the link.
Any idea?


TIA.

Alain

Roll a 1d20 to make a saving throw vs. clicking? (sorry - could..not..resist!)

Another way to ask the question:

   "How to make a list of links sortable?"

I read the doc and scratched my head, but I found nothing, not even 
dandruff.

This problem can be solved by adding a _handle_ to restrict the part of 
the list element that can be used as a handle.
