Sortable parent object

Sortable parent object


I'm still getting into the whole javascripty jquery stuff.
I currently has a function that goes
$("#sortable").sortable({ items: 'tr', opacity: 0.6,
            helper: function() {
                return '<div id="myHelper">This is my custom helper.</div>';
            }
});
for sorting a tables rows. Works great. What I want it to do however,
is display what they're sorting as a helper in div. To do this, I need
some kind of parent object ID or something and in this regard I have
no idea what I'm doing. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
