Nesting Sortables is not working - connecting all groups of same class

Description

In a scenario where you want to connect mutliple sort groups in a single jQuery call the nested sortables do not work.

$('.contentGroup').sortable({items:'.contentArea', handle:'.moveButton', connectWith:'.contentGroup', opacity:'.5'});

I have a sample html file including the css, and page script. See attached.

Nested sortables work using prototype and scriptaculous. however, I'd prefer to use jQuery for other library features. I also prefer the resizable feature of jQuery. For the resizing in scriptaculous I had to use a draggable that when dragged resized the parent element.

Here is an example of what I want to do with jQuery UI.

This is not a bug. I found the solution upon further inspection of the documentation. I was confused between the correct syntax to make it work in prototype and jQuery.

The solution is in how the connectWith option is specified.

$('.contentGroup').sortable({items:'.contentArea', handle:'.moveButton', connectWith:['.contentGroup'], opacity:'.5'});

Notice the brackets around the selector in the connectWith option.

However, sortables still do not work with resizable, see #3164

my comment was mangled... One more try.

$('.contentGroup').sortable({items:'.contentArea', handle:'.moveButton', connectWith:['.contentGroup'], opacity:'.5'});
