Hi Ryan,
You're right, the entire menu should generally be loaded upfront, but for the CMS I need to be able to create a new sub menu if the admin wants one, which means that there will be a new list that wasn't there when the page loaded. I could of course reload the page but I want it to be as seamless as possible. There must be some way to reference/set the containment of an existing list...?

Hi Duncan,
Welcome to the list. My very first thought in this matter is that you may possibly be using AJAX where it’s not warranted. Is there a real benefit in not just creating the whole menu structure up front? Are you sending a request to the server every single time someone tried to open up a sub-menu? I would definitely argue here that you should look seriously at how and why you are using AJAX.

Subject: [Rails-spinoffs] Add new lists to existing sortables container
Hi All,
I'm using scriptaculous for the first time. I'm creating a CMS where the user can simply drag menu items to change the order. This is all simple enough. My problem comes with nested menus. The sortables are fine within their own menu but not across other new menus. The reason for this is that I'm using AJAX and only create a sub menu when it's parent is clicked on so I can't list all the containments up front for each list.
I need to be able to add new sub menus to the containment of previous lists. Any one have any idea how to do this?
I see there's a Droppable.add, but I can't see how to make this work for my sortable containment ...
Any help much appreciated
Regards
Duncan
