Question

In this example http://jqueryui.com/sortable/#connect-lists is possible to drag and drop the items between different list and also the same list.

Will it be possible to dis-activate the drag and drop in the same list and allow just the drag and drop between different lists? how?

Answer 1

This is the best Ican do here:

$("#sortable1, #sortable2").sortable({
    connectWith: ".connectedSortable",
    stop: function(event, ui) {
        if (ui.item[0].parentNode == this) {
            $(this).sortable('cancel');
        }
    }
}).disableSelection();​
