[QlikView extension][javascript] Usage of "Sortable.js" library

Anonymous — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

Hello,

I'm having a little problem with javascript in an QlikView extension. I want to use the Sortable library. But unfortunately my code doesn't work. I can create a list of items. But the Sortable.create has no effect.

This is my script.js:

var EXTENSION_NAME = "HelloWorld"
var remoteUrl = Qva.Remote + (Qva.Remote.indexOf("?") >= 0 ? "&" : "?") + "public=only&name=Extensions/" + EXTENSION_NAME;
var jsFiles = [remoteUrl + "/Sortable.min.js"];
Qv.LoadExtensionScripts(jsFiles, function() {
  Qva.AddExtension(EXTENSION_NAME, function() {  
  //create element variable 
  var e = this.Element;
 //Destroy previous content 
  $(e).empty();
 //create an UL-list element
  var ul = document.createElement('ul');
  ul.setAttribute('id','listitems')
  e.appendChild(ul);
 //input texts
  var texts = ['ratatat','matatat','hatatat'];
 //load input texts into LI-list-items
  for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++){
  var li = document.createElement('li');
  ul.appendChild(li);
  li.innerHTML="";
  li.innerHTML += texts;
  }
 //get all listitems
  var foo = document.getElementById('listitems');
 //create Sortable object
  Sortable.create(foo, { group: "omega" });
  });
});

My extension folder contains the following:

script.js
definition.xml
Sortable.min.js
