Jquery ui sortable clone helper not working
- by Jeremy Seekamp
Maybe I don't understand how clone works with sortable, but here is what I would like to do.
When sorting an item I would like a clone of the item I am dragging remain until I stop drop the item in its new position.
Here's the code:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.2/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<style type="text/css">
.sort { width: 150px; }
.ui-state-highlight { background-color: #000; height:2px; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<ul class="sort">
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
<li>Item 3</li>
<li>Item 4</li>
</ul>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('.sort').sortable({
helper: 'clone',
placeholder: 'ui-state-highlight',
opacity: '.5'
})
})
</script>
</body>
</html>
Thanks in advance for the help!
