You need to call the Sortable.create again after adding the new element and also give the element an id. <input name="insert" type="button" onClick="$('sort1').insert({bottom: '<li id=\'s1_6\'>six</li>'}); Sortable.create('sort1', {starteffect: myStartEffect});" /> <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> Sortable.create('sort1', {starteffect: myStartEffect}); </script> Code (markup):
