I have a list of items like this...
<ol>
<li>
<span></span>
<img src="image.png" />
<p>Image Caption</p>
</li>
</ol>
And I want to be able to sort the LI's but not the sub elements, they should just move with their parent.
I am using the jQuery to do that...
$('ol li').sortable({ 'cursor': 'move' });
And its working but not moving the whole lot just the element you clicked i.e. the <p>, <img> or <span>
I can't figure out how to solve this so I looked about and found an option called 'items': '> li' which was recommended but upon using this nothing drags any more but using firebug + jquery plugin I can see there is a sortable on the <li> still.
Not sure what to do, example here: http://clareshilland.unknowndomain.co.uk/
- Press
ctrl+lto login. Enter the login details:

Password:demoSelect 'edit' from under then 'image' portion of the menu.
The sortables should be those polaroids.
Thanks in advance, another one I've been banging my head on the table with.
