similar to: A small question about dragging effect on sortables

Looking at the archives, people have asked this before, but I can''t find a proper answer: How do you get sortable_element to return the dragged (moved) element? I know I can compare the list of elements before and after, but I need to know exactly which element was moved. The problem with comparing the list before and after is that if an element is dragged one element forward or

Sorry if this sounds cynical, ( i do love script.aculo.us scripts ) , but I am wondering if people know of some good real world examples of uses of drag n drop and sortable lists. such a cute script will likely be *ab*used as much as it is used. obviously the point here is to use script.aculo.us to improve the user interface rather than just have some k00l eFX. e.g. the drag n drop instantly

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>

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 made a sortable list which is sortable by dragging & dropping the list elements. It works, but the order of the elements will not be updated in the database. Hopefully someone could help me, or tell me what I''m doing wrong. Thnx! Rgds, Eric Controller: album_controller.rb class AlbumController < ApplicationController def show_sort_album @photos =

*** don''t know if i''ll be clear... if not, tell me Hi. http://favoris.lichenmedia.com/untitled.htm I don''t know why, but when I drag those sortables (tagged with the handle handle) filled with the sortables (the lists with lorem ipsum) The handled-one "stays" where you dropped them. When you drag the li between the uls that are the big containers, no

Hi all, I''m making an Amy Hoy style tip sheet PDF for the Prototype and Scriptaculous AJAX stuff, to be used with Rails. Are there other resources you would suggest besides the websites themselves (the previous thread about Highlight reminded me of this)? Is there a particular focus that would be helpful for such a document? Preferred fonts or colors? I must say, once you get

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

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

Good day, I''m trying to use the slider control to resize a pile of images on a web page. Clever, huh. Bet cha didn''t think of that one!!! :) But seriously. It seems I want to address a class, rather than the individual id''s of the images. At this point, I''m getting some results with something like this:

I have multiple drag and drop lists. If you sort within one list, you can pass the list back to the server using: <%= sortable_element ''task-list'' << person.id.to_s , :url => { :action => "noop", :id => @user }, ... %> Which causes this to be included in the javascript: onUpdate:function(){new

Question about the list in general: by default, it''s set up so that replies go to the sender, rather than the list. However, on other lists I usually chat on, replies by default generally go to the list. This seems to encourage more discussion. Would it be a good idea to change that default? Or am I just crazy.

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 have made some strange expirience yesterday. I have an unordered list with sortable list items (basic). Within these are various contents (forms, divs, more lists) etc.. Now on only some of them the whole page (all text) begins to flicker / redrawn in Internet Explorer 6 if i pick up a dragable and move it above its original position (like moving it above the ghost of the

Is there a centralized list of Rails gems somewhere? Or even just a database of some kind of gems that can be useful to Rails apps, not just specific to Rails? -raymond -- Raymond Brigleb, Creative Director Needmore Designs -- The beautiful, usable web.

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

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"

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

Hello, please take a look at http://test.reasonmaker.com/sort/ where I made some hacks to allow for nested sortables. I need a hierarchical, sortable list, so I hacked away. It generally works quite nicely, but: ( - The code needs my debug stuff and failed attempts removed ) - The code needs to be adapted to also work with vertical sortables. It probably breaks vertical sortables.

Hi all, When using sortable lists, a click anywhere in a <li> element will trigger the "sort_by_dragging" mode, and have the clicked element follow the mouse. The active area is the entire <li> element. Is there a way to either : - limit the active/triggering "area" to a part of the <li> element (like a luggage handle) or - prevent a part of the
