Demonstrates that nested sortables are not working

Correction, related to #3164

Example file updated with working resize event code

Nested sortables work using prototype and scriptaculous. however, I'd prefer to use jQuery for other library features. I also prefer the resizable feature of jQuery. For the resizing in scriptaculous I had to use a draggable that when dragged resized the parent element.

Here is an example of what I want to do with jQuery UI.  http://test.xulgent.com/prototypes/floatingcontentdivs/floatingcontent_5.html

This is not a bug. I found the solution upon further inspection of the documentation. I was confused between the correct syntax to make it work in prototype and jQuery.

The solution is in how the connectWith option is specified.

$('.contentGroup').sortable({items:'.contentArea', handle:'.moveButton', connectWith:.contentGroup?, opacity:'.5'});

Notice the brackets around the selector in the connectWith option.

However, sortables still do not work with resizable, see #3164

my comment was mangled... One more try.

$('.contentGroup').sortable({items:'.contentArea', handle:'.moveButton', connectWith:['.contentGroup'], opacity:'.5'});

Problem solution - added brackets around connectWith selector
