[jQuery] Re: Using Sortables with tables

[Andy Matthews]

It doesn't really matter than I'm displaying an "order" value. In fact,
having that order value hidden would probably make the script easier to
write. It can be assumed that the modules would be in the order in which
they're displayed.

Thanks for that little tidbit rob. I might use your code if you don't mind.

I've got a list of movies in my sortable, and whilst I don't have them
numbered, I do have a save button that gets the IDs of each movie in the new
order, and then calls an Ajax function to save these.

Have a quick look at
http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/browse_thread/thread/bf1a4d6c333db4
d8/eba2691f564e76fa
for my structure.

The save button function uses the SortSerialize function and some regExp to
get a comma-delimited list of the movie IDs and sends it to a generic
webservice:
$("[EMAIL PROTECTED]").click(function(){
  var serial = $.SortSerialize();
  //alert( serial );
  var idList = serial.hash.replace(/sortableList\[\]=/gi,'').replace(/
\&/g,',');
  //alert( idList );
  var collectionId = new String( $("[EMAIL PROTECTED]
$=hiddenCollectionId]").val() );
  if (collectionId != "undefined") {
        $.ajax({
          type: "GET",
          url: "Handlers/Movies.ashx",
          dataType: "html",
          data: "action=savecollection&overwrite=true&collectionId=" +
collectionId + "&iList=" + idList,
          success: function(msg){
                $("span#updatemsg").html( msg );
          }
        });
  }
  return false;
});
