Question

My Problem:
The sortable event out: fires when I drag something in the list or when I sort the list.
But I only want to start the function when I drag an item out.

My code

        $(document).ready(function ust()
        {    
            $('#div1').sortable({
                out: function(event, ui) { $('#nfo').append('OUT<br />'); }
            });

        });

This is the default behaviour of the out callback. See this jquery ui trac ticket

I really do not agree with the ‘logical’ behaviour notion.

“However, note that the “out” callback
will still be triggered if you drag
into a list and then release the mouse
(but not if you’re not over the list).
This is logical behaviour and happens
for normal sortables as well.”
