Hi, your jQuery code above will only run once if you're calling it on
the UL etc, try it like this
$("ul#list > li").each(function(index,domEl) {
//etc
}
If you're only trying to delete one item you could have the delete
button within the li which would make it easier
//called before .sortable();
$("ul#list > li > input.delete").click(function() {
$(this).remove();
$("ul#list").sortable('refresh');
}
$("ul#list").sortable();
Hope that helps!
