How do I get the coordinate position after using jQuery drag and drop? I want to save the coordinate to a database, so that next time I visit, the item will be in that posi
This worked for me:
$("#element1").droppable(
{
drop: function(event, ui)
{
var currentPos = ui.helper.position();
alert("left="+parseInt(currentPos.left)+" top="+parseInt(currentPos.top));
}
});
$(function()
{
$( "#element" ).draggable({ snap: ".ui-widget-header",grid: [ 1, 1 ]});
});
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#element").draggable({
containment: '#snaptarget',
scroll: false
}).mousemove(function(){
var coord = $(this).position();
var width = $(this).width();
var height = $(this).height();
$("p.position").text( "(" + coord.left + "," + coord.top + ")" );
$("p.size").text( "(" + width + "," + height + ")" );
}).mouseup(function(){
var coord = $(this).position();
var width = $(this).width();
var height = $(this).height();
$.post('/test/layout_view.php', {x: coord.left, y: coord.top, w: width, h: height});
});
});
#element {background:#666;border:1px #000 solid;cursor:move;height:110px;width:110px;padding:10px 10px 10px 10px;}
#snaptarget { height:610px; width:1000px;}
.draggable { width: 90px; height: 80px; float: left; margin: 0 0 0 0; font-size: .9em; }
.wrapper
{
background-image:linear-gradient(0deg, transparent 24%, rgba(255, 255, 255, .05) 25%, rgba(255, 255, 255, .05) 26%, transparent 27%, transparent 74%, rgba(255, 255, 255, .05) 75%, rgba(255, 255, 255, .05) 76%, transparent 77%, transparent), linear-gradient(90deg, transparent 24%, rgba(255, 255, 255, .05) 25%, rgba(255, 255, 255, .05) 26%, transparent 27%, transparent 74%, rgba(255, 255, 255, .05) 75%, rgba(255, 255, 255, .05) 76%, transparent 77%, transparent);
height:100%;

If you are listening to the dragstop or other events, the original position should be a ui parameter:
dragstop: function(event, ui) {
var originalPosition = ui.originalPosition;
}
Otherwise, I believe the only way to get it is:
draggable.data("draggable").originalPosition
Where draggable is the object you are dragging. The second version is not guaranteed to work in future versions of jQuery.
I was need to save the start position and the end position. this work to me:
$('.object').draggable({
stop: function(ev, ui){
var position = ui.position;
var originalPosition = ui.originalPosition;
}
});
Had the same problem. My solution is next:
$("#element").droppable({
drop: function( event, ui ) {
// position of the draggable minus position of the droppable
// relative to the document
var $newPosX = ui.offset.left - $(this).offset().left;
var $newPosY = ui.offset.top - $(this).offset().top;
}
});
None of the above worked for me.
Here's my solution- works great:
$dropTarget.droppable({
drop: function( event, ui ) {
// Get mouse position relative to drop target:
var dropPositionX = event.pageX - $(this).offset().left;
var dropPositionY = event.pageY - $(this).offset().top;
// Get mouse offset relative to dragged item:
var dragItemOffsetX = event.offsetX;
var dragItemOffsetY = event.offsetY;
// Get position of dragged item relative to drop target:
var dragItemPositionX = dropPositionX-dragItemOffsetX;
var dragItemPositionY = dropPositionY-dragItemOffsetY;
alert('DROPPED IT AT ' + dragItemPositionX + ', ' + dragItemPositionY);
