hi waseem, thx for your idea and really appreciate for doing it. what i want to know is how to display these toolbars-"div"s base on retrieved data from database. for example: orginal order div id=1 class=1 div id=2 class=2 div id=3 class=3 assume i retrieved data from database is array,which contains the customised order "3","1","2"
how to display divs like this? div id=3 class=3 div id=1 class=1 div id=2 class=2 On Jul 4, 2:04 pm, waseem sabjee <waseemsab...@gmail.com> wrote: > lets just see the logic behind this. > > <div class="listitem position1"> > item > </div> > > <div class="listitem position2"> > item > </div> > > <div class="listitem position3"> > item > </div> > > <div class="listitem position4"> > item > </div> > > say we have item as mentioned above. > METHOD 1 > ------------------ > save to database : > your table would be like so > > if you are using MYSQL > ID INT(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, > userID INT(11) NOT NULL, > position TEXT NOT NULL, > html TEXT NOT NULL > > if you are using SQL SERVER > ID INT NOT NULL -- set identifier to yes and set increment to 1 > userID INT NOT NULL, > position VARCHAR(max) NOT NULL, > html VARCHAR(max) NOT NULL > > for both cases index ID as Primary Key > non clustered index on position > non clustered index on html > my idea is to save the html of a specific position to the db and refill the > positions based on this > note i used classes such as position1, position2 to identify my locations > I have created one table that will keep track of the positions for each user > > if you do not want to use a database you can use cookies :) > your cookies would be : > position, html > same type of logic > > On Sat, Jul 4, 2009 at 3:39 AM, cs...@hotmail.com > <cs3p...@googlemail.com>wrote: > > > > > Hi all: > > > i am trying to use jquery UI sortable on my webpage to display > > toolbars. what i want is, let people sort these toolbars in the way > > they like. i have named toolbars with id "1","2","3","4", and i saved > > sorted order to database via toArray method. i was wondering how i > > could display these toolbars with new order when people browser my > > site next time, is there any method that supports it? > > > i am really appreciate for your help, thx in advance > > > andy
