Textbox in sortable not selected.. and no workaround yet!
hi everybody,
There is a bug in sortable jqueryui when using a textbox in the li
element to sort (very easy to replicate).
This has already been asked here:
http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-ui/browse_thread/thread/12717e72ed541134/d2dd044ad8116411?lnk=gst&q=textbox+sortable#d2dd044ad8116411
But nobody replied and the problem still persists now..
I have it in my product and have to show this bug to my customers.
The cursor can go into the textbox and it can be edited but:
1. it cannot be repositioned with a mouse click
2. the text in the textbox cannot be selected by dragging the mouse
3. If you try to use the cursors to select the text the textbox will
not let you edit it anymore.
I believe it is a requirement for any sortable product to handle
textboxes too..
I tried my best to fix it using all I could come up with in firebug
etc, but I couldn't do it.
please help!
