jQuery Droppable, get the element dropped
A small question hopefully with a simple answer, I am using jQuery draggable and droppable to place items into a dock. Using the below code for the drop.
$("#dock").droppable({
drop: function(event, ui) {
//Do something to the element dropped?!?
}
});
However I couldn't find a way to get what element was actually dropped, so I can do something do it. Is this possible?
Solution 1:
From the drop event documentation:
This event is triggered when an accepted draggable is dropped 'over' (within the tolerance of) this droppable. In the callback,
$(this)
represents the droppable the draggable is dropped on. Whileui.draggable
represents the draggable.
So:
$("#dock").droppable({
drop: function(event, ui) {
// do something with the dock
$(this).doSomething();
// do something with the draggable item
$(ui.draggable).doSomething();
}
});
