Problem

I need to drag the li and draw accordingly in the position where I dropped. Now it is not drawn in the position where we dropped.

Any suggestions to make this! Thanks in Advance!

Answer 1

To get the drop position, we use ui.position which will gives "top, left" relative to the offset element. ie,

var top = ui.position.top; // gives the top postion
var left = ui.position.left; // gives the left postion

Now append these x and y coordinates, to the small box div which is appended into div id "processFlowId", with the help of style attribute. Such as,

<div class="mouseHover" id="'+ mainDivId+ '"'+ 'style="width:200px;position:absolute; top: '+ top+ 'px; left: '+ left+ 'px;"'>
