I have this html:

<ul>
    <li id='item1'>First</li>
    <li id='item2'>Second</li>
    <li id='item3'>Third</li>
</ul>

and this .sortable jQuery:

$(function(){
    $("#listofpages").sortable({

    }
})

How can I get the id of the dragged element?

Inside the update event callback you can do this (demo):

$( "#listofpages" ).sortable({
  update: function( event, ui ) {
    var id = ui.item.attr("id");
  }
});
