Scriptaculous Sortables Dropped Element ID

[Urbolutions]

Does anyone know how to access the id of an element dropped from one sortable into a second?

I have heard that an observer can be used to do this, but can not seem to find a concrete example. Scriptaculous does not offer any examples of observers on sortables either.

I am hoping there is an internal function for this in Scriptaculous. Otherwise, I am stuck comparing two serialized lists of IDs to see what has changed.

You need to also make your Sortables into Draggables and Droppables. Use the onDrop function of the Droppable to get your element - it's passed as the argument.

new Draggable('sortable',{revert:false});

Droppables.add('sortable', {
accept: 'class_of_sortables',
onDrop: function(element)
{doSomethingTo(element);}});

Thanks for the reply, but I am pretty certain that an observer can be used with the sortables to get the element id. But, like I said, the docs on this are next to non-existent...and the examples ARE non-existent!

Anyone have any experience with observers and sortables?
