[jQuery] Sortable serialize
So I'm working on various Rails solutions using jQuery and Interface.
The way Rails/Prototype handles sortables is as follows:
You have a series of id's in a list: item_2, item_4, item_1, item_3, etc.
Prototype serializes as: item[]=2&item[]=4&item[]=1&item=3 etc.
Rails converts the serialized form into params[:item] = ["2","4","1","3"...]; in other words, a usable array.
This makes it really easy to convert the array into a list of positions for the database. It seems that there's no trivial way to do this with Interface without writing a custom serializer or having Rails deal with the identifier on the back end. Am I missing something?
