<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
function slideout(){
setTimeout(function(){
$("#response").slideUp("slow", function () {
});
}, 2000);}
$("#response").hide();
$(function() {
$("#list ul").sortable({ opacity: 0.8, cursor: 'move', update: function() {
var order = $(this).sortable("serialize") + '&update=update';
$.post("updateList.php", order, function(theResponse){
$("#response").html(theResponse);
$("#response").slideDown('slow');
slideout();
});
}
});
});
});
</script>
and the body code is
<div id="response"> </div>
<ul>
<?php
include("connect.php");
$query = "SELECT id, text FROM dragdrop ORDER BY listorder ASC";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
$id = stripslashes($row['id']);
$text = stripslashes($row['text']);
?>
<li id="arrayorder_<?php echo $id ?>"><?php echo $id?> <?php echo $text; ?>

According to #jheilgeist here, adding a position:relative on the div, will sort it out, even if it acts a little weird.
It looks like a jQuery UI bug in those browsers.
