I did a google search on spider mites and it does sound very similar to what I have - especially since there is some webbing on the bottom of the affected leaves. Today, I sprayed all the basil in a solution of 1 teaspoon dishwashing liquid and 2 cups water...we'll see how it goes. Thanks Tim.

I kee winding up with duplicates. ie. id - order 1 - 2 1 - 1 1 - 2 Ive also tried setting order to unique but that just blocks me from updating the table. I think i'm going to try the scriptaculous version instead of mootools. Maybe that'll work better. ok.. here’s my problem then. say in my db i have:

I have an INT field in the example called position that equates to the one you have called order. You should only update this field and not touch your primary key. Tim Hi Dan,

Not sure what you mean there. I have an INT field in the example called position that equates to the one you have called order. You should only update this field and not touch your primary key.

The table i am sorting already has a primary key that is auto incremented and most of the rest of the site relies on that key. if i use this method of sorting it changes the id. i created a second field called 'order' but cant seem to get that one to update correctly because i cant have two auto incrementing fields. Any recommendations? Am I making sense? great tutorial. quick question.

These are probably spider mites rather than thrips, but I believe the damage can appear similar. A good way to find out if you have thrips is to hold a white sheet of paper beneath the leaves and flick them gently. You should get lots of black bits falling on the paper.
