Question

Hi can someone please tell me why this code is incorrect? I’m trying to pass two variable values to a function.

$( "#resizable-text1, #resizable-text2" ).draggable({
    containment: "#containment-wrapper1",
    scroll: false, 
    stop: function(event, ui)
    {
        var id = $(this).attr('data-idSuffix');
        adjust_pos($('#resizable-text',id));
    }
});

function adjust_pos(elem, id) {
    alert('elem = '+elem)
    alert('id = '+id)
    var currentPos = $("#"+elem+id).position()
    var xpos = parseInt(currentPos.left)
    var ypos = parseInt(currentPos.top)

    then use variables ele and id...
}

Any help appreciated.

Answer 1

You don’t need to wrap the string in the jQuery $() function, because in your function you will do that anyways ($("#"+elem+id).position()). Simply send the string.

So this should work:

adjust_pos('#resizable-text', id);

EDIT: Also, either in your function adjust_pos or in the parameter you pass you should remove a # because otherwise there would be two. I recommend you remove in the function, so if for some reason you want to send a class selector, you can do that too.

var currentPos = $(elem+id).position();
