</div>

I have a sortable UL with LIs in it

example:

- 
- 
- 

\<%= sortable\_element("my\_list", { :complete =\> "alert ('hi')", :handle =\> "drag", :update =\> "menu", :url =\> { :action =\> "order\_menu" } } ) %\>

nothing happens, nothing at all, after I have changed the order and  
dropped the item in its new position. Why?

thanks
