JQUERY getting ID value of LI element from nested ul

HTML code
<ul id='orgCat'>
<li parent-id="0" li-id="16">Anthropology Department</li>
<li parent-id="16" li-id="18">Anthropology Faculty Collections</li>
<li parent-id="16" li-id="23">Shared Collections</li>
<li parent-id="0" li-id="19">Center for Research on Vermont</li>
<li parent-id="19" li-id="24">Collections for Testing</li>
<li parent-id="24" li-id="25">Geology Department</li>
</ul>
Jquery
jQuery(function($){
var $ul = $('ul');
$ul.find('li[parent-id]').each(function () {
$ul.find('li[parent-id=' + $(this).attr('li-id') + ']').wrapAll('<ul />').parent().appendTo(this)
});
});
//to get li-id on double click
$('#orgCat li').dblclick(function(){
alert($(this).attr('li-id'));
})
Problem is
When double click on 'li' element its showing parents 'li-id' also but it should return only current list 'li-id'. Jsfiddle

You need to use e.stopPropagation to stop event bubbling.
$('#orgCat li').dblclick(function(e){
e.stopPropagation();
alert($(this).attr('li-id'));
});

How to shift elements with Drag and Drop by using HTML5?

I'm working with Drag and Drop tutorial from HTML Rocks. The current tutorial basically does a switch of the dragged element and the element it is dropped on. What was in point A goes to point B and point B goes to point A.
|A|B|C| --> |B|A|C|
|D|E|F| |D|E|F|
I'm trying to change this logic. If I drag point E, it should be in between the others.
|A|B|C| --> |A|E|B|
|D|E|F| |C|D|F|
This is the demo I have for this.
Should this be done changing the property dropEffect or it will be necessary to create a new div for adding the item we're moving?
function handleDragStart(e) {
this.style.opacity = '0.4'; // this / e.target is the source node.
}
function handleDragOver(e) {
if (e.preventDefault) {
e.preventDefault(); // Necessary. Allows us to drop.
}
e.dataTransfer.dropEffect = 'move'; // See the section on the DataTransfer object.
return false;
}

I found the way to do this thanks to #tbirell
I'm using the Jquery UI library for this and change all the logic of what I did at the beginning
Instead of using DIV, I'm replacing them by UL and LI
<ul id="sortable">
<li class=" ui-state-default">Item 1</li>
<li class=" ui-state-default">Item 2</li>
<li class=" ui-state-default">Item 3</li>
<li class=" ui-state-default">Item 4</li>
<li class=" ui-state-default">Item 5</li>
<li class=" ui-state-default">Item 6</li>
</ul>
The library is the one that manages the logic of this.
$( function() {
$( "#sortable" ).sortable({
revert: true
});
$( "#draggable" ).draggable({
connectToSortable: "#sortable",
helper: "clone",
revert: "invalid"
});
$( "ul, li" ).disableSelection();
} );

How to change sortable element's style while dragging?

Here is my script:
<script>
$(function() {
t1 = window.performance.now()
var $sortable1 = $( "#dragableElement" ).sortable({
connectWith: ".connectedSortable",
items: ".sorting-initialize",
containment: "window"
});
$sortable1.find(".ui-state-default").one("mouseenter",function(){
$(this).addClass("sorting-initialize");
$sortable1.sortable('refresh');
});
t2 = window.performance.now()
console.log(t2-t1)
});
</script>
Is it possible to change styling of dragged item in this script? For example add background : 'yellow' and it changes color and etc.?

you can also use jQueryUi sortable events start for this try this:-
$( "#dragableElement" ).sortable({
connectWith: ".connectedSortable",
items: ".sorting-initialize",
containment: "window",
start: function( event, ui ) {
$(ui.item).addClass("yellow");
},
stop:function( event, ui ) {
$(ui.item).removeClass("yellow");
}
});
Demo

When you sort an item, a class ui-sortable-helper is added to the item. You can use this class to change the appearance of the item being sorted. You can then use CSS rules to alter the appearance of this item. However, you have to ensure that your css overrides the default css of jQuery UI. For that, you may need to have very specific selectors.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/UAcC7/1503/
CSS:
.ui-sortable-helper {
background:green;
}
HTML:
<div class="demo">
<ul id="sortable">
<li class="ui-state-default"><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-arrowthick-2-n-s"></span>Item 1</li>
<li class="ui-state-default"><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-arrowthick-2-n-s"></span>Item 2</li>
<li class="ui-state-default"><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-arrowthick-2-n-s"></span>Item 7</li>
</ul>
</div>
<!-- End demo -->
<div class="demo-description" style="display: none; ">
<p>Enable a group of DOM elements to be sortable. Click on and drag an element to a new spot within the list, and the other items will adjust to fit. By default, sortable items share <code>draggable</code> properties.</p>
</div>
<!-- End demo-description -->
JS:
$("#sortable").sortable();

jQuery - Non-nested / non-descendant sibling navigation shown on hover event

I have 2 navigation areas. The second should appear when an element in the first is hovered over and it should disappear if the mouse does not move over it.
Very basically i have:
HTML
<ul class="main">
<li class="1">item 1</li>
<li class="2">item 2</li>
</ul>
<div class="sub">
<ul class="1">
<li>1 sub item 1</li>
<li>1 sub item 2</li>
</ul>
<ul class="2">
<li>2 sub item 1</li>
<li>2 sub item 2</li>
</ul>
</div>
I want ul.1 to appear when I hover over li.1 and ul.2 to appear when I hover over li.2, and I want them both to disappear only when I am not hovering over the sub uls.
I've got it working part way:
JAVASCRIPT
var sections = new Array('1', '2');
$.each(sections, function(i, section) {
$('ul.main li.' + section).hover(
function() {
$('div.sub ul').hide();
$('div.sub ul.' + section).show();
}
);
});
This will show the correct section and hide the others, but I can't figure out how what I need so that, when the mouse moves off a ul.main li, the .sub ul disappears if it's not being hovered over.
Update: Fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/alluvialplains/XY4mH/

You're part of the way there #EpF. The problem is that your semantic example given above (which is possible to adhere to) is trying to capture a mouseleave event and while it's possible to use jQuery's .not() function to achieve this, it would be expensive. Really, the smartest way to do this is to have an outer wrapper for your whole navigation (wrapping all div's you've got in your existing fiddle) and then bind your show() event to mouseenter, while separately binding your .hide() event (the one for ALL .subz) to an event triggered on mouseleave for the wrapper div.
Given the following HTML:
<div id="nav-wrap">
<ul class="mainz">
<li class="1">item 1</li>
<li class="2">item 2</li>
</ul>
<div class="subz">
<ul class="1">
<li>1 sub item 1</li>
<li>1 sub item 2</li>
</ul>
<ul class="2">
<li>2 sub item 1</li>
<li>2 sub item 2</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div><!-- /END #nav-wrap -->
You can achieve the effect with the following javascript
$( document ).ready( function () {
var $ul = $( '.subz ul' ).hide();
$( '.mainz li' ).on( 'mouseenter', function(event){
$ul.hide().eq( $( this ).index() ).show();
});
$( '#nav-wrap' ).on( 'mouseleave', function(event){
$ul.hide();
});
});
Here is a JSFiddle of it in action: http://jsfiddle.net/XY4mH/4/
Also, I should note that the .hover() function is deprecated in jQuery for quite a while now and could disappear sometime soon. Note that I used the .on() function, which is the correct way to bind these kinds of events in jQuery.

$( document ).ready( function () {
$( '.main li' ).on( 'click', function () {
$( '.sub ul' )
.hide()
.eq( $( this ).index() )
.show();
});
});
That should do the trick. But as #Mottie said, nesting menus would work better / more symantecly
Edit: Sorry this is working on click. Just a sec and I'll have it updated
$( document ).ready( function () {
var $ul = $( '.sub ul' ).hide();
$( '.main li' ).hover(
function () {
$ul
.hide()
.eq( $( this ).index() )
.show();
},
function () {
$ul.hide()
}
);
});

Jquery list drag drop

I have a Jquery Drag Drop List which I want to update immediately in MYSQL using Jquery Ajax Post.
Because I can drag elements between lists (more than one list), I need to get the parent ID (parent being list category ID - where the draggable is dragged to)
When I drag from one category / list to another I am always given the former ID..
For example:
CAT 1 ------------ CAT 2
If I was to drag something from CAT1 to CAT2 - the ID would be CAT1 and not the new category ID...
I have added my codes below:
Jquery:
<script src="js/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.ui.core.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.ui.widget.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.ui.mouse.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.ui.sortable.js"></script>
<script>
$(function() {
$( "#sortable1, #sortable2" ).sortable({
connectWith: ".connectedSortable"
}).disableSelection();
});
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".mouseup").mouseleave(function(){
var sparent = $(this).parent().attr("id");
alert(sparent);
});
});
</script>
LIST HTML:
<div class="demo">
<div class="box">
<ul id="sortable1" class="connectedSortable">
<li class="ui-state-default mouseup">Item 1</li>
<li class="ui-state-default mouseup">Item 2</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="box">
<ul id="sortable2" class="connectedSortable">
<li class="ui-state-highlight mouseup">Item 1</li>
<li class="ui-state-highlight mouseup">Item 2</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

What you want is here:
http://jqueryui.com/demos/draggable/#events
$( "#sortable1, #sortable2" ).sortable({
connectWith: ".connectedSortable",
stop: function(event, ui) { alert($(ui.item).parent().attr("id") }
}).disableSelection();
Placing your code in the stop callback will allow you check the right ID.

Event that you need to handle is received.
$(".connectedSortable" ).on( "sortreceive", function(event, ui) {
alert(ui.item.parent()[0].id);
// also ui.sender will hold original list, from where element was taken
});
EDITED: depending on the fact if you need to handle case when items were just reordered, ie you drag and drop within same list, or not you are going to use received or stop event.
received will fire only in case you drag to another list.
stop will fire even if you leave item in the same list.
