Hi Guys,

couple of questions regarding jquery sortable lists.

1> Say i have 2 'sortable' lists feeding off each other, how can i
limit the number of items that can be added to either list?
basically when a list has reached 5 items i would like no more to be
able to be dropped onto it.  i would also like items to still be able
to be removed from it though.

My first attempt was to intercept the drop function and 'return
false;' if the parent list had 5 items. that doesnt seem to work, it
still drops it on.

Second attempt was to revert the item, and that failed.
drop : function (ev, ui) {
  if (5 items found) {
    $(ui).revert(); ??
  }
}

2> So then i thought i could get the sender id of the sortable list
that the item came from but i dont know how to do that...
drop : function (ev, ui) {
   senderid = $(ui).sender.attr('id'); ???
}

thanks for any help
D
