Just noticed that the jQuery that this drag and drop plugin is using is different from the one that you can download from jquery.com
It’s either a cusom built version or a internal release of jquery. it is very buggy on hover

John Resig has been working hard to get a stable release out for 1.0 of jQuery and so I think you are looking at one of the more recent versions.

I know you have mentioned the interface library but not a proper mention and it extends jquery how cool is that

It absolutely is one of the best plugins for jQuery. I probably should have emphasized it more… but there is a link in there.

Jack please update the links to Interface pages. I changed the site’s structure and many links are broken.

This “day of Jquery” that talks about doing drag and drop table sorting to update a database doesn’t give an example, and the “Demo” doesnt actually have the ajax component either. It shows serialization but not the actual ajax calls.

This may be a “dead simple” thing to do but without a demo that shows the ajax calls, its going to take me a while to get my head around it.

Example, please?

Tronathan,
I’ve got a lot on my plate today, but I’ve seen your request for a more in depth example. I’ll try to get to it soon.

An example of communication to the database after each drag and drop?

Any help would be really helpful

Ok, I haven’t implemented this yet, but I think it’s pretty simple — there’s an “onChange” function specified there, into that you can drop whatever ajax calls you want, which can use the output from $.sortSerialize() (and send it as a parameter (or parameters) to any webpage via a simple xmlhttprequest call…ajax….).

Scriptaculous sortable lists do not work in any browser other than IE (that I tested). It’s a shame because it’s so nice. I actually submitted this as a bug report a while ago and to my knowledge, it still has not been addressed.

Is there any way you could make an example of drag and drop that use MySQL as database and interact it with PHP?

If possible a simple Cart that after dragging the image to the box, it automatically save to database.

I really love your stuff but I’m not quite familiar with it comes to ajax or any javascript scripting.

This probably isn’t the place to post this, but if your sortable elements are floating and have children (say IMG thumbnails inside of LI) the droppables appear not to work. I really wished this worked. If anyone has a fix, please contact me - me@blainegarrett.com

Hi, I have a question about the interface plugin for jquery. I tried to get the same result of the example of the sortables. Now everything works fine in almost all browsers… except one-> IE. There I can drag and drop each element just once. And then you can’t do it anymore. Any ideas how to solve this?
thanks in advanced.

Sortables doesn’t seem to work with the latest build of jQuery in IE. The behavior described above by Gerbrand can be fixed by using an earlier version on jQuery but for many, like myself, this isn’t an option.

Still looking for a fix…

By: Matthew Sweet

Gerbrand -

To fix, you’ll need to reinitialize your sortable.

First call SortableDestroy()

e.g.: jQuery(’#accordianControl’).SortableDestroy();

Then call the original code you used to initialize the sortable

e.g.:

jQuery(’#accordianControl’).Sortable(
{
accept: ‘acc_sortable’,
helperclass: ’sortHelper’,
activeclass : ’sortableactive’,
…. and so on.

Just put the SortableDestroy and reinitialization calls into the onStop handler.

When using UI.Sortable on my relatively complex/long list of image thumbnails, I find it’s possible to ‘drop’ items so that they disappear from the list, which is big problem for me, it means I have to refresh the page to get these ‘dropped’ items back.

Has anyone else experienced this? Am I missing some option?
