hello!

i´m new to this stuff and have one question:  
does this sortable list demo:  
[http://demo.script.aculo.us/ajax/sortable\_elements](http://demo.script.aculo.us/ajax/sortable_elements)

especially the ajax callback only work when ruby is installed on the  
server?  
is there any chance to get the sorted list back with normal ajax and  
php?

or am i understanding something totally wrong here? 😉

thank you very much!  
br harald

Well, you’re certainly not understanding which group you’re posting  
to. 🙂

This list/group/forum is for discussion of the Ruby programming  
language, not Javascript or PHP.
