How do I trigger the Drop event with jQuery UI Droppable without actually dragging and dropping?

Question

I have a droppable with a drop event handler:

$(this).droppable({
  drop:function(){
    console.log(\'OMG You Dropped It!\');
  }
});
         


        

Answer 1

You should move the code in your drop handler to a separate function.
You can then call the function both in the handler and elsewhere.
