I'm using the sortable function in jquery to sequence a faq list. Needless to say, i'm new to this concept. Anybody have any good examples of the backend for this. I have the front working fine, but updating the sequence in the database is another story. My backend is ColdFusion btw.
Thanks in advance
Define the faq:
<div id="faq">
<div id="q1">...</div>
<div id="q2">...</div>
(...)
<div id="q100">..</div>
</div>
Make faq sortable:
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#faq").sortable();
</script>
Form submitted:
<form action="..." id="faq_form">
<input type="hidden" name="faqs" id="faqs" />
...
</form>
Add sorted sequence to form
<script type="text/javascript>
$("#faq_form").submit(function() {
$("#faqs").val($("#faq").sortable('toArray'))
})
</script>
When form is submitted, field "faqs" will contain comma separated id's from #faq like this: q1,q3,q10,q11,q2,q100...
Just parse it and save to DB
