script.aculo.us Sorting tag Option

Last Updated : 03 Dec, 2020

The tag option in the Sortable module is used to specify the type of elements that have to be made sortable in the container. Its default value is ‘li’, which is the list element.

Syntax:

 Sortable.create( container_id, {tag: container_type} );

Example 1:

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
  
<head> 
    <script type="text/javascript" 
        src="prototype.js"> 
    </script> 
  
    <script type="text/javascript" 
        src="scriptaculous.js"> 
    </script> 
  
    <script> 
        window.onload = function () { 
            Sortable.create( 
                'list', { tag: 'li' } 
            ); 
        } 
    </script> 
      
    <style> 
        li { 
            cursor: move; 
        } 
    </style> 
</head> 
  
<body> 
    <ul id="list"> 
        <li>tag</li> 
        <li>overlap</li> 
        <li>constraint</li> 
        <li>containment</li> 
        <li>handle</li> 
    </ul> 
</body>
