I ran into an interesting problem last night trying to implement Sortable over a unordered list of links, while using Safari to test the application.
The behaviour was very strange, and went like this: I could click on an item in the list and drag it up and down within the boundary of the list. li elements would move out of the way, as I expected. However, when I dropped the item, the wrong even would be triggered back on the server - the default action would be triggered, which would refresh the list back to it's original form. Using Firefox, the 'sort' method would be invoked in the controller, as coded. After playing around for a while, I found that if I positioned the element in the correct place in the list, moved the mouse *left* out of the list, and *then* released the mouse, the correct event would be triggered, and the 'sort' method would be invoked on the server. Note that I do not have to do this with Firefox. I have not tried it with IE. Has anyone else ran into this behaviour before, and if so, how did you solve it? My first thought was to switch to jQuery, but when I did that, I could not click on the links to follow them - jQuery interprets the mouse cilck as the beginning of a drag, and so doesn't less the click go through to the browser. That's a complete non-starter..... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
