script.aculo.us Sorting containment Option

Last Updated : 05 Jan, 2021

The containment option in the Sorting elements module is used to enable sorting between two sortable. It takes an array of elements or element-id in which you want to enable sorting.

Syntax:

Sortable.create(“element1_id”, {containment: [“element1_id”, “element2_id”]});
Sortable.create(“element2_id”, {containment: [“element1_id”, “element2_id”]});

The examples below demonstrate this option:

    <script type="text/javascript" 
        src="./prototype.js">

        src="./scriptaculous.js"> 
    </script> 
  
    <script> 
        window.onload = function () { 
            Sortable.create("list1", { 
                tag: "li", 
                containment: ["list1", "list2"], 
            }); 
            Sortable.create("list2", { 
                tag: "li", 
                containment: ["list1", "list2"], 
            }); 
        }; 
    </script>
