Rails - Jan 2006 - sortable_element not recognizing newly added <li> elements

I have a user defined list of items.  Using the sortable_element
function, I can manipulate the ordering of this list fine by dragging
each component around.
 
When I dynamically add another <li> item to this list, the newly added
item is _not_ "draggable" like its other siblings. 
 
Using the sortable_element function, how do I make it aware of newly
added list items?  Here is my current sortable_element definition.
 
<%= sortable_element dow + ''orderList'',
        :complete => visual_effect(:highlight, "status", :duration
=>
0.5 ),
        :url => { :action => ''updateOrder'', :dow =>
dow } %>
 
TIA.

Found a solution to my problem.  Looks like I need to recreate the 
sortable_element each time a new <li> item is added.

Here''s a description of the problem.

And here''s a source exemplifying the solution.

You want to call the Sortable.create method within the :OnComplete 
callback.
