How to prevent multiple selection in jQuery UI Selectable plugin

Question

I am using jQuery UI Selectable plugin. I want to select one item at a time. But jQuery UI Selectable plugin allows multiple selection by clicking/ dragging / holding CTRL

Answer 1

This worked for me. It prevents "lassoing" multiple rows and ctrl + click.

$(function() {
$("#selectable").selectable({
      selecting: function(event, ui){
            if( $(".ui-selected, .ui-selecting").length > 1){
                  $(ui.selecting).removeClass("ui-selecting");
            }
      }
});
});
