jQuery + Sortable + live

Question

I\'m adding list items to a page dynamically with $.get, then appending them to the OL element. Pretty usual to this point.

But jQuery isn\'t aware of these new ite

Answer 1

The refresh method of .sortable() does not seem to recognize li's which are NOT added via the .sortable() functions.

Try adding your .sortable() initialisation code into a function which you call on document ready AND in you code where you dynamically add li's.

Instead of:

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    jQuery("#mySortableOL").sortable({
        ...
    });
}
...
jQuery("#mySortableOL").append(...);
jQuery("#mySortableOL").sortable("refresh");

Try something like:

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    jQuery("#mySortableOL").doSort();
}
...
jQuery("#mySortableOL").append(...);
doSort();
...
function doSort(){
    jQuery("#mySortableOL").sortable({
        ...
    });
}
