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

I just made something like that (If I understand you correctly).

I use he function position() include in jQuery 1.3.2.

Just did a copy paste and a quick tweak... But should give you the idea.

// Make images draggable.
$(".item").draggable({

    // Find original position of dragged image.
    start: function(event, ui) {

        // Show start dragged position of image.
        var Startpos = $(this).position();
        $("div#start").text("START: \nLeft: "+ Startpos.left + "\nTop: " + Startpos.top);
    },

    // Find position where image is dropped.
    stop: function(event, ui) {

        // Show dropped position.
        var Stoppos = $(this).position();
        $("div#stop").text("STOP: \nLeft: "+ Stoppos.left + "\nTop: " + Stoppos.top);
    }
});
