I'm not able to drag/drop on my 'Home Box' page and I am getting the following javascript error:

$columns.sortable is not a function

I have read all of the other documentation and error reports regarding this issue, and none of the proposed solutions there have fixed mine.
Here are my specs:

- Drupal 6.16
- jQuery update 6.x-1.1
- Tried jquery_ui 6.x-1.2 and 6.x-1.3 (readme says 6.x-1.2 and current is 6.x-1.3) both don't work
- jQuery UI from http://jquery-ui.googlecode.com/files/jquery.ui-1.6.zip (as per readme)
- No optional plugins
- Tested in Firefox 3.6.3 with firebug installed and IE 8

I have read:
http://drupal.org/node/463270

My block setting are set to 'moveable' (block_settings.jpg)

I had tried the 6.x-2.x-dev version of jQuery update when 6.x-1.1 didn't work originally, and now when I tied to downgrade (deleted from server/ clear site cache/ upload new module) my report status (status_report.jpg) shows jQuery update 1.2.6 but show installed ok.

However, in my modules menu (ui_upgrade_module_settings.jpg) the correct version is shown.

I have cleared site cache, browser cache, and ran upgrade.php all throughout the process and still no go.

I think at this point I am completely stuck.

Can anyone help or has anyone fixed this issue?

We got this figured out. Had a theme that was manually including jQuery 1.3 for some reason. We commented that line out of the theme's page.tpl.php and now Home box is working perfectly.

Issue tags: +$columns.sortable is not a function

i got the same error when i was creating a widget which uses the sortable function.

i was able to fix it by including the javascript, which creates the widget (and has the sortable function), at the end of my file.

example:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
html>
head>
script/>
link/> !--links a css stylesheet for the widget-->
/head>

body>

!--create the unordered list for the widget-->
ul id="column">
li>/li
li>/li
li>/li
/ul>

/body

script/ !--script which creates the widget and applies the functionalities and aesthetics

/html
---------------------------------------------------------------

hope that helps. this error was so frustrating.
