How to make Sortable lists with some items that can't be dragged with jQuery

Question

I used this code to build 7 different lists. The items in it can be dragged around freely between those lists. Now i want to have some items to be fixed in their lists, so they can't be dragged around anymore. How could i do that?

Answer 1

You can use this one

HTML

<ul id="sortable1" class="connectedSortable">
  <li class="ui-state-default">Item 1</li>
  <li class="ui-state-default ui-state-disabled">Item 2</li>
  <li class="ui-state-default">Item 3</li>
  <li class="ui-state-default">Item 4</li>
  <li class="ui-state-default ui-state-disabled">Item 5</li>
</ul>

<ul id="sortable2" class="connectedSortable">
  <li class="ui-state-highlight ui-state-disabled">Item 1</li>
  <li class="ui-state-highlight">Item 2</li>
  <li class="ui-state-highlight">Item 3</li>
  <li class="ui-state-highlight">Item 4</li>
  <li class="ui-state-highlight ui-state-disabled">Item 5</li>
</ul>

Java-Script

$( function() {
    $( "#sortable1, #sortable2" ).sortable({
      connectWith: ".connectedSortable",
       items: "li:not(.ui-state-disabled)"
    }).disableSelection();
  } );

CSS

 #sortable1, #sortable2 {
    border: 1px solid #eee;
    width: 142px;
    min-height: 20px;
    list-style-type: none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 5px 0 0 0;
    float: left;
    margin-right: 10px;
  }
  #sortable1 li, #sortable2 li {
    margin: 0 5px 5px 5px;
    padding: 5px;
    font-size: 1.2em;
