jQuery sortable fails with overflow auto
For the past month or so, I've been developing several programs, using jQuery Sortable option, which is now working very well. However, when I uploaded it to a hosted site, I experienced a problem. I have overflow: auto; set for the div that contains the sortable list. If the list has enough entries to cause scrolling, all. the jQuery controls and general javascripts, including Ajax action buttons, no longer work. Firebug shows none of the jQuery scripts are included and the iframs are missing for the QFCKEditor, which is included in the form. Again, this is only if the sortable list is long enough to cause scrolling. Also, no errors are indicated by Firebug.
If the list only has a few items in it, so scrolling isn't triggered, sortable and all other jQuery and javascript are present and work perfectly. Also, the iFrames are present and the QFCKEditor control works perfectly.
Again, this problem is only occurring on the hosted website. I made certain everything was properly, by re-downloading everything and testing the downloaded code on my local WAMP. Also, I'm using the same workstation and browser, while working on both the local and hosted installations. The hosted site is running the same version of PHP (5.3.0). However, it's CentOs.
If anyone has any ideas on this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Interesting addition... I expanded the vertical size of the container QPanel to accommodate at least three lines more than are in my test case and the it still doesn't sort. It seems I must reduce the number of entries to 5 in order to make sortable work. In testing on my local WAMP, I have added additional lines and, even with the scroll handle, it remains sortable. So, there must be some configurable setting that's causing the problem.
Well, I don't know exactly the cause but, the solution was to switch to a different hosting company. It's obviously related to some limitation applied to Apache because, the page is being cut off. I've switched to A2 Hosting and the problem is resolved.
In any case, I'm now working on an example for a QSortable plugin. Since this is my first effort at creating a plugin, it will likely take a few days.
How did you return the sorted list back into QCubed?
I've been working on doing this and have not figured it out yet.
kpirbhai, the plugin installs with an example, so you can see just how it set up. Basically, all my data controls are children of QPanels and the QPanels are what gets sortable. Since the physical order of the sorted panels is not changed, I've included a method, GetPanelArraySeq, that will return the the Id's of the panels in the sorted order. Take a look at the included example. If you still don't understand it, please post your code.
