  1. POjQuery - 2 sortable lists: How to add a removed li back to list 1
    text
    copied!<p>I have two sortable unordered lists and a trash can. Users are taking items from list1 and dropping them in list2. They can also remove items from list2 by dragging and dropping them over a trash can div. All of this works fine, but now I'd like to add the dropped ("trashed") list item back to list1.</p> <p>I'm using ASP.NET, so the ul controls are getting their list items in the code behind.</p> <p>Any help is appreciated.</p> <pre><code>$('#&lt;%= list1.ClientID %&gt;, #&lt;%= list2.ClientID %&gt;').sortable({ stop: function (event, ui) { storeAndUpdateGroupItems(); }, connectWith: ".connectedSortable, #trashCan" }).disableSelection(); $('#trashCan').droppable({ accept: '#&lt;%= list2.ClientID %&gt; li', tolerance: 'pointer', drop: function (event, ui) { $('#&lt;%= list1.ClientID %&gt;').append(ui.draggable); //problem... ui.draggable.remove(); storeAndUpdateGroupItems(); } }); </code></pre> <p>If I add ui.draggable.html() to the .append() method the html gets added back into list1, but I'm trying to add the actual draggable, sortable li back to list1.</p> <p>And the HTML</p> <pre><code>&lt;td&gt; &lt;div class="availableCoins"&gt; &lt;ul id="_ulAllItems" runat="server" class="connectedSortable"&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;div class="selectedCoins"&gt; &lt;ul id="_ul" runat="server" class="connectedSortable"&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="removeItem"&gt; &lt;div id="trashCan"&gt; &lt;/td&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>EDIT</strong> OK, I got this working. I feel like it's kind of "hacky." I just rebuilt the li using the ui.draggable.html(). It works, and after the item is added back to list1 it's draggable and sortable. Thanks for the suggestions.</p> <pre><code>$('#trashCan').droppable({ accept: '#&lt;%= list2.ClientID %&gt; li', tolerance: 'pointer', drop: function (event, ui) { $('#&lt;%= list1.ClientID %&gt;').append("&lt;li class='dragItem'&gt;" + ui.draggable.html() + "&lt;/li&gt;"); ui.draggable.remove(); storeAndUpdateGroupItems(); } }); </code></pre>
