I´m trying to reorder a set of photos inside a sortable ul
; to save them in the new order I have to overwrite the matching input fields (name and title):
That's my ul
structure :
<ul class="float drag1">
<g:each in="${fotos}" var="foto" status="index" >
<li class="float editimg 1" id="${index}">
<div class="float imgbox">
<span class="floatr imgdel" onclick="deletePicture('${foto.name}')" title="Löschen"></span>
<img src="${di.createImageURL(bucket:'foo', name: foto.name, format:'m')}" alt="${foto.titel}" />
<g:hiddenField name="fotos[${index}].name" readonly="readonly" value="${foto.name}"/>
</div>
<input type="text" name="fotos[${index}].titel" class="fototitel" value="${foto.titel}"/>
</li>
</g:each>
</ul>
and thats my JS
<script type="text/javascript">
$( sort );
function sort()
{$('.drag1').sortable({
update: function(event,ui) {
var draggingElement = $(ui.item);
var ordering = draggingElement.index();
var string1 = 'fotos['+ordering+'].name' ;
var string2 = 'fotos['+ordering+'].titel' ;
alert(string1+'---'+string2);
//the following part doesn´t work, when i give those inputs unique id´s it work´s but i want this to be more self fulfilling.
var inputs = draggingElement.getElementsByTagName("input");
inputs[0].attr('name',string1);
inputs[1].attr('name',string2);
}
});
}
</script>
Alerting string1 and string2 shows that those are correct, I just need to update the name attribute of the inputs. But in the example above i get a typeError
draggingElement.getElementsByTagName is not a function
I can´t figure out how to get the child inputs of the draggingElement.
In place of
var inputs = draggingElement.getElementsByTagName("input");
inputs[0].attr('name',string1);
inputs[1].attr('name',string2);
try this
var inputs = draggingElement.find("input");
inputs.eq(0).attr('name',string1);
inputs.eq(1).attr('name',string2);
