jQuery Sortable Move UP/DOWN Button

Question

I currently have a jQuery sortable list working perfectly. I am able to move the \'li\' elements around. However, how can I make a button to move a specific \'li\' element u

Answer 1

If you have following html code:

myButtonTextForUp
myButtonTextForDown

  
line_1
  
line_2
  
line_3

I assume you have allready something to mark each lis, so following I assume the marked lihas the class markedLi; Following code should in theory move that element up or down (totally untested off course):

$('#myButtonUp').click(function(){
  var current = $('.markedLi');
  current.prev().before(current);
});
$('#myButtonDown').click(function(){
  var current = $('.markedLi');
  current.next().after(current);
});
