im using the script.aculo.us drag n drop script. i am having an issue getting a checkbox to POST its value if checked, once the row the checkbox is in is moved. I believe that once i change the position of a checkbox, it is no longer considered a child of the parent form. How can i get it back to being part of the original parent form? Another way of saying is... If i have 10 rows with checkbox's in each row, i check rows 1,2,3,4, then move row 1 to the 3 position (2,3,1,4), then submit, the returning POST array only has 2,3,4. How do i get 1 to be in the array as well? Interface Script <?php /* needed for IE */ ?> <div id="page"> <div id="sale_row" class="section"> <div id="item_1" class="lineitem" style="cursor: move;">example 1 <input type="checkbox" name="check_value[]" value="example1"></div> <div id="item_2" class="lineitem" style="cursor: move;">example 2 <input type="checkbox" name="check_value[]" value="example2"></div> </div> </div> <?php /* set JS outside *page* div */ ?> <script type="text/javascript"> // <![CDATA[ sections = ['sale_row']; <?php /* this watches for event changes like drag and drop action */ ?> Event.observe(window,'load',init,false); function init() { <?php /* add a sortable.create for each group level div */ ?> Sortable.create('sale_row',{tag:'div', dropOnEmpty:true, containment:sections, only:'lineitem', onUpdate:updateData}); } Sortable.create('page',{tag:'div',only:'section',handle:'handle'}); // ]]> </script> Code (markup): *Javasript* that formats and sends url to ajax db update page. When chekbox vars "params" are sent this works perfectly. function updateData() { var params = ''; var sections = document.getElementsByClassName('section'); sections.each(function(section) { params = Sortable.serialize(section.id); var ajax = new Ajax.Request(page_url,{ method: 'post', parameters: params }); }); } Code (markup):
