Thanks for your insight. I was able to fix this by moving the 'auto' margin into the parent wrapper, and used a fixed margin for the sortable item.
It does seem to me that jQuery could be modified to translate 'auto' properly, though I could see why it would be difficult to make such a feature work on all browsers. This work around seems to have done the trick, though. - Steven Bower TurnWheel Designs On Nov 21, 8:34 am, "Paul Bakaus" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi there, > > sorry for the late reply - this is not a bug, at least not one we can fix > anytime soon. > > The issue is the margin: 50px auto on the actual elements - this auto value > is something we can't work > with, jQuery always returns 0 for it, it's still the most sane value.
