[jQuery] Current element position on sort change

[applecoremilo]

Is there a way I am able to find out what position the dragged element
is in..

IE:  i have 5 list elements which are sortable, i drag element 4 into
position 2. I need to update a referenced list with the new sort
order.

thanks.

[jQuery] Sortable Element Position

[applecoremilo]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how i can get the current element position of
a sortable list after drag has complete. Should i be using traverse
for this??


code example:
the second alert gives me -1 as an index.


ie:  valuevaluevalue

$("#foo").sortable({update:function(e)
 {
alert(e.target.id);

alert($("foo").index(e.target));
 }
});
