Funny little quirk I just encountered, and I wanted to post it where you might find it one day. If you're using the Proto/Scripty sortable helper in Rails, and you want to sort a table, you need to put the HTML ID that you use to identify your list collection on the tbody tag, not the table itself. It's the difference between this:
<table id="sort_list"> <thead> </thead> <tbody> <tr id="id_<%= role.id %>"> ...</tr> ... </tbody> </table>
...which doesn't work at all, but doesn't throw any JavaScript errors, and this:
<table> <thead> </thead> <tbody id="sort_list"> <tr id="id_<%= role.id %>"> ...</tr> ... </tbody> </table>
...which works perfectly.
The same helper tag in either case:
<%= sortable_element 'sort_list', :url => { :id => @campaign.id, :action => "sort_team" }, :tag => 'tr', :complete => visual_effect(:highlight, 'sort_list') %>
Hope this keeps someone else from panicking.
