Making a simple sortable list with floated nodes.
Item #1
Item #2
Item #3
Item #4
Item #5
Item #6
Item #7
Item #8
Item #9
Item #10
Setting Up the List
First we need to create the HTML structure for the list. Since Sortable uses Y.DD.Delegate, we need to set up a delegation container (#demo) and the list items (em).
<div id="demo">
<em>Item #1</em>
<em>Item #2</em>
<em>Item #3</em>
<em>Item #4</em>
<em>Item #5</em>
<em>Item #6</em>
<em>Item #7</em>
<em>Item #8</em>
<em>Item #9</em>
<em>Item #10</em>
</div>
Now we give the list some CSS to make it visible.
#demo {
border: 1px solid black;
height: 200px;
}
#demo em {
display: block;
float: left;
padding: 3px;
width: 150px;
border: 1px solid black;
margin: 3px;
background-color: #8DD5E7;
cursor: move;
}
Setting Up the YUI Instance
Now we need to create our YUI instance and tell it to load the sortable module.
YUI().use('sortable'
Making the List Draggable
Now that we have a YUI instance with the sortable module, we need to instantiate the Sortable instance on the list.
YUI().use('sortable', function(Y) {
var sortable = new Y.Sortable({
container: '#demo',
nodes: 'em',
opacity: '.1'
});
});
