I had build a parent and child system using accordion. The structure is something like below
parent1
child1
child2
child3
parent2
child4
child5
child6
parent3
child7
child8
child9
I have also added one feature of drag and drop. My requirement is I don't want a child should be drag out from the current parent. It can be only dragged and replace in the current parent. For eg child 1,2 & 3 position can be interchanged with drag but child 2 should not be allowed to go inside parent2 & parent3. Also, the parent2 child shouldn't be allowed to drag in parent1 and parent2
I did a research and I found accordion provides a property containment: parent But it doesn't work properly. Can anyone help me out with this problem?
<div id="available_fields_container" class="accordion list_container ui-sortable active" data-accordion="one">
<dd class="accordion-navigation active" id="data_download_fields">
<a href="#data_download_fields">
<b>FootBall Fields</b>
<span class="collapse-symbol"></span>
</a>
<span class="select-group" data-fields="#data_download_fields">Select all</span>
<div id="data_download_fields" class="content active" data-group="FootBall Fields">
<div class="field_items" data-index="4" data-group="FootBall Fields">
Andrew
<span class="plus-icon action-icon">+</span>
<i class="icon-cross2 action-icon"></i>
</div>
<div class="field_items" data-index="5" data-group="FootBall Fields">
Sam
<span class="plus-icon action-icon">+</span>
<i class="icon-cross2 action-icon"></i>
</div>
</div>
</dd>
<dd class="accordion-navigation " id="data_download_hockey_fields">
<a href="#data_download_hockey_fields">
<b>hockey Fields</b>
<span class="collapse-symbol"></span>
</a>
<span class="select-group" data-fields="#data_download_hockey_fields">Select all</span>
<div id="data_download_hockey_fields" class="content " data-group="hockey Fields">
<div class="field_items" data-index="0" data-group="hockey Fields">
jason
<span class="plus-icon action-icon">+</span>
<i class="icon-cross2 action-icon"></i>
</div>
<div class="field_items" data-index="1" data-group="hockey Fields">
Jane
<span class="plus-icon action-icon">+</span>
<i class="icon-cross2 action-icon"></i>
</div>
</div>
</dd>
</div>

For achieving these type of things you can use jquery sortable callbacks. In your case, you will need start and out callback
var before_drag;
start: function(event, ui){
before_drag = ui.item.parent().attr('id')
}
out: function(event, ui){
var after_drag = ui.item.parent().attr('id')
if(before_drag != after_drag){
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
}
}
