I am using jQuery UI sortable to make my table grid sortable. The code seems to work fine but because I am not adding width to tds, when I drag the tr

Answer 1

I found the answer here.

I modified it slightly to clone the row, instead of adding widths to the original:

  helper: function(e, tr)
  {
    var $originals = tr.children();
    var $helper = tr.clone();
    $helper.children().each(function(index)
    {
      // Set helper cell sizes to match the original sizes
      $(this).width($originals.eq(index).width());
    });
    return $helper;
  },
