How do I get the coordinate position after using jQuery drag and drop?

Question

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

Answer 1

If you are listening to the dragstop or other events, the original position should be a ui parameter:

dragstop: function(event, ui) {
    var originalPosition = ui.originalPosition;
}

Otherwise, I believe the only way to get it is:

draggable.data("draggable").originalPosition

Where draggable is the object you are dragging. The second version is not guaranteed to work in future versions of jQuery.
