similar to: Sortables: which element moved?

Maybe a newb question, maybe not. It''s not well documented, and I want to know how to know the id of my newly dropped item. The usage, would be to attach the newly dropped id to its *new* parent in a DB. Thanks. ???????????????????????? http://www.samueldr.com http://www.hostingquebec.ca

Folks, It has been a whole day spent on this but I still can''t get my mind around the most probably very stupid/basic mistake here... First, the code I use: <h3>List A</h3> <ul id="lista" > <li id="item1"> Item 1</li> <li id="item2"> Item 2</li> <li id="item3"> Item 3</li> </ul>

Hello, I''m implementing sortables in Rails and I can''t seem to get the lovely effect from the Sortable Floats Demo on Thomas'' wonderful site: http://script.aculo.us/drag-and-drop#sortable-floats-demo Simply put, I can''t get the effect whereby you''re dragging the image. When I have a vertical or horizontal constraint on a list, the effect

Hi All I have a sortable <ul> list where each <li> contains a link. e.g. <ul> <li><a>link</a></li> <li><a>link</a></li> <li><a>link</a></li> </ul> How can I go about stopping the click event on the link if the li element has been dragged? Cheers Rob

When a ''draggable'' element is made ''sortable'', it no longer follows the mouse horizontally when you drag it. Is there a solution/workaround? TIA Alain

I have a <ul> that contains a number of list items, and I''m using the sortable_element helper to reorder then via drag-and-drop. This works great, however, when I insert a new <li> into the <ul> with Ajax, the sortable_element doesn''t know about it. Is there a way to refresh this collection? Thanks for any help. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have a working sortable_list that is added to by AJAX. The problem is that when a new item is added, it''s not sortable. I found a post on scriptaculous using behaviour.js to refresh the DOM when an item is added, but I can''t figure out how to do it with Rails. To test the behaviour method, I used this: var myrules={ ''div#steps ul'' :

Hello everyone: I''ve been using scriptaculous for very long time and it''s really good. However, I just came across another problem about using sortables in a scrollable div. The basic structure is: <div style="overflow:auto; height=400px"> <div id=''Item1''></div> <div id=''Item2''></div> ....

Hi Everyone, I posted this last month and unfortunately, I didn''t recieve any replies. Maybe this time I''ll have better luck. I originally had my sortable element list working properly like so: <ul id="sortable_list"> <% @items.each do |item| %> <li id="item_<%= item.id %>"><%= image_tag "dragme.gif"

I was experimenting with using some interesting CSS styles with <dl> <dt> and <dd> elements. But then I needed to be able to make this list a sortable_element in Rails, and it did not work. I had to convert it all to <ul> and <li>. Is there a reason why sorting can''t work within definition lists? I searched the list archive and found the

Hi, I am creating a sortable list using this code: <%= sortable_element("fields_list", :url => { :action => "order", :id => @fields_list }) %> it creates a sortable and I can move elements up and down, but it is not making any call to the "order" method. I do not see any log activity in the development log nor do I see any errors there. The

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

I''ve got the following sortable list in one of my views: <ul id="sortable_list" class="sortable_list"> <%= render(:partial => ''section'', :collection => @sections) %> </ul> <div class="new_section" id="new_section"> <%= form_remote_tag(:url => {:action =>

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

Just finished our first proper rails app and I''m trying to add some AJAX effects for the first time. I''ve got Rails Recipes and the Rails Cookbook, none of their examples seem to be a good fit with what I''m trying to achieve. Which is... I have 2 lists of users. One for assigned users, one for unassigned users. I want to be able to drag users between the lists to

Hi, I''m new to the prototype and scriptaculous (v1.5.1) libraries. I''m creating a sortable list using the code below, and I''m finding that while a list element is being dragged in IE, the element text is transformed to appear bolder than the original. In Firefox, the text becomes opaque. Is there anyway to stop this from happening, ie don''t change any

i know someone just recently asked about queueing ajax requests, my question is similar in the regards that i don''t want my application to send multiple requests. i have 2 sortabbles lists left, and right. when i move an item from left to the right the onUpdate callback will send 2 ajax requests. one for each sortables. however. i want it to serialize and send back the results from

I''ve gone through Chad Fowler''s recipe for creating a drag and drop sortable list, and have been trying to extend this to a sortable tree. Has anyone come up with or seen code which allows drag and drop sorting (altering the position and parent_id variables of the relevant objects) but for data in a nested tree rather than a list form? - Justin

Re, Would anyone happen to know how to make sortable/draggable scroll down the page while moving the object if the page happens to be larger than the screen size? These functions seem to work only within the visible working space. Right now I have workaround whereby I have an omnipresent DIV on the screen to which I drop an element, then scroll down in the browser to a certain point, and then
