In the standard behavior demonstrated at http://jqueryui.com/demos/sortable/ when you drag an item in the list a placeholder element is displayed where the item would be dropped.
However, the original location of the item to be dropped is not indicated.
I would like to leave the original location visible until the drop, so that the visual feedback is analogous to the way the original is left in place for the "semi-transparent clone" option depicted at http://jqueryui.com/demos/draggable/#visual-feedback
Is there any way I can do this with sortable?
Thanks!
So one approach that seems to work (thought it's definitely a hack) is to pass the option
start: function (e, ui) { ui.item.show();}
which unhides the automatically hidden original (ui.item
).
And, more generally, one can use the start
function to modify the item.
