jQuery sortable item height

Question

I\'ve got a simple jQuery sortable based on a list as follows:

  
Item 1
  
Item 2
  
Item 3         


        

Answer 1

You could grab the current height of the Div being dragged, save it in a variable and assign a generic height to the DIV being dragged. Once it's placed, use the call back to reassign the height within the variable.

var curHeight = $(div).height();  

$(div).css({height: 20px;});
