How to get the child of an element being dragged with jQuery UI

Question

I have the following html:

link


         


        
      

Answer 1

You can use:

ui.draggable.find('a').attr('href')

This will look for the a element among all descendants of the draggable element.

To look only at the direct children of the draggable, use this instead:

ui.draggable.children('a').attr('href')
