Hello David,
I struggled for a while to figure out the behavior of sortables and
droppables... and it takes a little while to understand what's being
fired when. The best solution I think I can come up with is for you to
have an helper function, for example :
var _nextId = 0;
var _helperFn = function() {
return $(this).clone().attr('id', $(this).attr('id') + (+
+_nextId));
};
thus creating clones with different ids. You may also set data
(clone.data(key, value);) to the clone to pass it from the source item
to the next item.
Good luck.
