Hi Guys
Am still learning JQuery and using the Jquery UI, I am working with the demos but tend to get rather stuck when i need it to do more!!!
Here is my situation:
I have a simple ul sortable list, which calls a php script to reorder records in my mysql database.
This is all working fine!
Now comes the next stage, I need each ul li to be selectable and then a set of buttons displayed depending on which one is selected.
I can write the php script which returns the buttons html if it is passed the ID of the li item.
So i need some way of calling 'script.php?page_id=45653'
I have attached where i am now and would really appriciate any thoughts on how i would move this to the next stage.
Many thanks

No, it would only fire the code when you click the actual link. The problem is that if you wire it up so that it does it when you click the li parent item, then you have to start worrying about firing off the request when someone really just wants to drag the item. If you're using handles, though, I think this is less of an issue because you have two separate areas for clicking and dragging. You could tweak the code above pretty easily to wire the click to the li instead of a by doing this:
$('ul.pages-icons-lar
var li = $(this);
$.get(li.attr('href'), function(html) {
//html is the button html returned by the script, do what you want with it here
});
return false;
)};
Then you could just add a href attribute (or url, or whatever you want) to the li and then go from there.

Could you make the href attribute of those links point to 'script.php?page_id=45653'
$('ul.pages-icons-
var a = $(this);
$.get(a.attr('href'), function(html) {
//html is the button html returned by the script, do what you want with it here
});
return false;
)};
