jquery UI Sortable with table and tr width

Question

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

Apply the sortable to the table's tbody element and just set the helper to 'clone', as described in jquery-ui's API

$("$my-table-tbody").sortable({
    helper: "clone"
});
