Setting Up the List
First we need to create the HTML structure for the list. Since Sortable uses Y.DD.Delegate, we need to set up a delegation container (#demo) and the list items (li).
<div id="demo">
<ul>
<li>1</li>
<li>2</li>
<li>3</li>
<li>4</li>
<li>5</li>
<li>6</li>
<li>7</li>
<li>8</li>
<li>9</li>
<li>10</li>
</ul>
</div>
Now we give the list some CSS to make it visible.
#demo li {
list-style-type: none;
padding: 3px;
margin: 6px;
width: 150px;
font-size: 114%;
background-color: #B6BFDA;
border: 1px solid #7E869D;
-moz-box-shadow: 3px 3px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);
-webkit-box-shadow: 3px 3px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);
box-shadow: 3px 3px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);
cursor: move;
}
Setting Up the YUI Instance
Now we need to create our YUI instance and tell it to load the sortable module.
YUI().use('sortable'
Making the List Draggable
Now that we have a YUI instance with the sortable module, we need to instantiate the Sortable instance on the list.
YUI().use('sortable', function(Y) {
var sortable = new Y.Sortable({
container: '#demo',
nodes: 'li',
opacity: '.1'
});
});
