jQuery Sortable Portlets - BBC Home Page

jQuery Sortable Portlets - BBC Home Page

Hi there

I am trying to replicate the sortable portals design, seen on the bbc home page , using the Jquery.

I have used the code from the jQuery ui site to recreate the drag and drop portlets, as shown here.

This is working smoothly, however, I have noticed in this demo, that if you drag a portlet across columns, the portlet gets added to the column.

What I am trying to achieve is what is active on the BBC site, whereby when you move a portlet across columns, the other portlets move out of the way to allow space for it.

Hope this makes sense, does any one have any ideas?

Thanks
