get new listbox order?

[edwardsmarkfParticipant]

hello – what is the best way to get the NEW order of a listbox after a user has reordered the listbox?

in other words, is there a way to convert the data contained in listbox back to an array or object after reordering?

this does not seem to change:

$(“#listBoxA”).jqxListBox(‘source’)

thank you very much.

Hi edwardsmarkf,

If you want to get the items of the widget, you can use getItems method.
Please, refer to the following example : http://jsfiddle.net/jqwidgets/SDJqH/

something like this is interesting, assuming there is absolutely no scrolling involved:

$("[id^=listitem]").each(function(index) { console.log( index + ": " + this.id + '<--->' + $(this).text() ); });

it appears the div id contains an order number, but all the items that are currently NOT displaying do not show.

scratch question please “getItem” method is what i needed.

for ( var x=0; x < $('#listBoxA').jqxListBox('getItems').length ; x++ )  {
     console.log (x + ' -->> ' + $('#listBoxA').jqxListBox('getItem', x).value ) ;  
}
