  • 0

I am using class for setting draggable and droppable properties of the element (UL, LI or DIV). So i can drag and drop as intended when i create the elements at design time. But when i create a element on the fly ( A div with id=’ontheflyDiv’ ) is not working as droppable.

Thanks in advance.

    I think you need to make your newly appended element droppable by calling droppable() on it after your’ve added it to the DOM. if you add something like this:

        $(this).find('#ontheflyDiv').droppable( { ... });

    to the bottom of your drop function it should work. I’m not aware of a way to add droppable functionality to elements added after page load similar to what jquery’s live() function can do for click and other events.
