Drag and drop sorting not working at all?

Silly though it may be, I can’t get a list to be draggable. I haven’t
set up the update partials but I can’t even get the elements to become
draggable. Here is what my HTML output is:

  • John
  • Edward
  • Bill

The ERB for this is:
<%= sortable_element “Q#{question.position}_answer_list”,
:update => “Q#{question.position}_answers”,
:complete => visual_effect(:highlight,
“Q#{question.position}_answer_list”) %>

Why won’t these elements drag??? Thanks in advance.

Apparently drag and drop doesn’t work with just dragdrop.js as specified
in an older rails tutorial. You need the full prototype library. Using
javascript_include_tag :defaults fixed this issue.
