Getting coordinations... script.aculo.us

[Hitman]

Hey, I'm using script.aculo.us for this page to make the logos draggable. (http://theuge.net/index4.html)

I want it so I can move the logos around, and them press a button and it saves the positions of all the logos with the name, in a database. I can do the MySQL database, but I've no idea how to get the coords or save them...

I've been using google, but alas, I can't find anything.

If anybody can point me in the right direction I'd be grateful.

Tom.

Try cookies?

[Hitman]

The way I'll do it is users registering and the position they chose will be sorted in the db under their username/id and the login will use cookies, so the main page will get their cookie, find the coords for the logos in the db and display them.

Just dunno how to get the coordinations.

Search next time Mr. S Mod :PI did use search, must have been searching the wrong thing? :P Cheers. :D

How would I be able to change the alert so it was something like a var which can then be inserted into a db?

I'd use AJAX to load a save page and then do something like


var x = document.getElementById('DIVNAME').style.left;
var y = document.getElementById('DIVNAME').style.top;
ajax_page_pls_cookies_ftw('savey.php?x=' + x + '&y=' + y + '', 'fantasticdiv')

:D Thanks a lot, I understand what to do with that. :P Cheers!

Code a function that is ran onmousedown so the div's z-index (zIndex) attribute is increased to the highest amount throughout the divs and + 1 to it.

This makes it so that when the div you're dragging is dropped, it will be on top of the other divs.

Could someone fully explain how to save the coordinates, I think it will come in handy for a small personal project of mine.
