Rails spinoffs - Jul 2007 - How do I capture the class of a Draggable?

Hello,

I''d like to send the class of a Draggable element as a parameter to an
AJAX call triggered from the Droppable. How do I access the class name
of the Draggable?

Also, how do I access the value of an Id associated with an element?
Do I call a method on $("My Element") ?

Thank you.

Hey there,

Assign the new Draggable to a variable so var myDraggable = new
Draggable(...);
if you haven''t done so. Then use this variable to access the element
and what you want.

e.g.

Getting the elements id: myDraggable.element.id
or Getting the element''s classes: myDraggable.element.classNames()

the latter returns an enumerable.

to get just the elements id, use $(My Element).id

remember Prototype extends dom elements, so you can use it like this.

Hope that helps.

Mr Parry.
