I have few components on my page which are draggable. They have the class draggable. When this is dragged and stops I need to get the left and top positions
function init() {
var p = $('#groups-parent');
$('.draggable').draggable({
obstacle: ".obstacle",
preventCollision: true,
containment: [
p.offset().left, p.offset().top, p.offset().left + p.width() - 225, p.offset().top + p.height() - 50
],
start: function(event, ui) {
$(this).removeClass('obstacle');
},
stop: function (event, ui) {
console.log(ui);
$('#groups-parent').css({ 'min-height': Math.max(500, ui.position.top + 50) });
$(this).addClass('obstacle');
getTopLeftPosition();
}
});
}
Here is my function that should get the left and top positions.
function getTopLeftPosition(e) {
var coordX = e.pageX - $(this).offset().left,
coordY = e.pageY - $(this).offset().top;
alert(coordX + ' , ' + coordY);
}
This does not work. All I get in my browser is this error message
Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'left')
How can I get this left and top positions? The alert should indicate it.
You probably just need to bind this to the function, by changing
getTopLeftPosition();
to either
getTopLeftPosition.call(this, event);
or
getTopLeftPosition.bind(this)(event)
