Rails - Jul 2006 - sortable_element - Altering defaults set by rails

Hi there, I''ve got the following code to generate two sortable elements
but whenever someone drags and drops an item, i only want it to return a 
serialised list of the items in categoryartworks, the unlinkedartworks 
can be in any order and I don''t care. I can then delete those artworks 
that were in category artworks but aren''t in the serialised list, plus 
reorder the category artworks. Here''s the code:

<%= sortable_element ''categoryartworks'',
      :dropOnEmpty => true,
      :containment =>
["categoryartworks","unlinkedartworks"],
      :constraint => false,
      :parameters =>
"Sortable.serialize(\"categoryartworks\")",
      :url => { :action => "order",
                :category => @category.id,
                }

      %>

<%= sortable_element ''unlinkedartworks'',
      :dropOnEmpty => true,
      :containment =>
["categoryartworks","unlinkedartworks"],
      :constraint => false,
      :parameters =>
"Sortable.serialize(\"categoryartworks\")",
      :url => { :action => "order",
                :category => @category.id,
                 }

      %>

The trouble is that rails generates this (repeats the parameters):

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
Sortable.create("categoryartworks", {constraint:false, 
containment:[''categoryartworks'',''unlinkedartworks''],
dropOnEmpty:true,
onUpdate:function(){new 
Ajax.Request(''/admin/category/1/order?category=5'',
{asynchronous:true,
evalScripts:true,
parameters:Sortable.serialize("categoryartworks")})},
parameters:Sortable.serialize("categoryartworks")})
//]]>
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
Sortable.create("unlinkedartworks", {constraint:false, 
containment:[''categoryartworks'',''unlinkedartworks''],
dropOnEmpty:true,
onUpdate:function(){new 
Ajax.Request(''/admin/category/1/order?category=5'',
{asynchronous:true,
evalScripts:true,
parameters:Sortable.serialize("unlinkedartworks")})},
parameters:Sortable.serialize("categoryartworks")})
//]]>
</script>


-----

I want to override the default rails entry there and replace it with my 
call to Sortable.serialise, right now It''s displaying both of them
which
breaks the app.

I know this is probably just a basic syntax issue but how do I get it 
done?

Cheers,

Brendon Muir

To answer my own question (After much searching through poor 
documentation, use this:

:with => "Sortable.serialize(\"categoryartworks\")"

as in:

<%= sortable_element ''unlinkedartworks'',
      :dropOnEmpty => true,
      :containment =>
["categoryartworks","unlinkedartworks"],
      :constraint => false,
      :url => { :action => "order",
                :category => @category.id
      },
      :with => "Sortable.serialize(\"categoryartworks\")"
      %>

Cher!
