Hello, I am experiencing exactly the same behavior. As shown in the code I tried to get all the "<li> elements" into the array "items" and make it "unique", but not even that worked. (see Source Code).
The only solution was the proposed one: $(this).children(":last").remove(); Is there any new idea how this could work without a workaround? Cheers and thanks, Robert <code> jQuery('.sort').sortable({ receive: function(event, ui) { var items = []; jQuery('.sort li').each(function(n,item) { items.push(item.innerHTML); }); plotGraph(items); }, update: function(event, ui) { var items = []; //$(this).children(":last").remove(); jQuery('.sort li').each(function(n,item) { items.push(item.innerHTML); }); items = jQuery.unique(items); plotGraph(items); } }); </code> JamesN-2 wrote: > > > I'm using draggables and dropping them into a droppable, which is also > a sortable (all of which are DIVs).
