If I have a a number of elements in one table column and I drag them one at a time to another column utilizing jQuery UI, how do I make remaining items in the first column move up, i.e. fill the gap left by the items that were moved. Assuming table cell valign=”top”.
I think it has to do something with DOM. It seems that even after I drag the item is it still in the same column.
You might want to use jquery ui’s sortable instead.

You can connect lists and anything moved from one list will move the remaining elements to fill any gaps
However you are not giving us any code/markup to work with so I can only guess. Hope this helps!
