Sorry, first ever post to a group. How do I get the following section of my javascript to post and return a result:
$("#S1").click(function(e){$.post("scripts.cfm", { coords: e.pageX +','+ e.pageY, strokeNo: '1', dropLocation: '?' });}); S1 is the draggable element (the id of the div, and there are 11 of them, S2, S2 etc.) and becomes the srokeNo, how do I change this based on the div object dropped? the coords are working to the post section Drop location is not working, I need to post the ID of the div where the drag object was dropped. I then need to return a calculated result, which I will do in coldFusion from the scripts.cfm page, to the drag object div.
