jquery Sortable connectWith calls the update method twice

Abhishek Jain picture Abhishek Jain · Aug 16, 2010 · Viewed 12.6k times · Source

In the code below the update function gets called twice when an item is moved from list sortable1 to sortable2. Though I need to call that function only once:

$("#sortable1 tbody, #sortable2 tbody").sortable({
    connectWith: '.connectedSortable tbody',
    helper: fixHelper,
    handle : '.handle',
    update : function () {
        var order = $('#sortable1 tbody').sortable('serialize');
    }    
}).disableSelection();
