Question

I have multiple droppable areas ..

for(j=0; j<2; j++) {
$('#dropElement' + j).droppable( {          
        drop : handleElementDrop
    });

}

function handleElementDrop( event, ui ) { 
}

How can I pass ‘j’ to event handleElementDrop so that i can know to which area the element was dropped to .. ?

Answer 1

I think you could do

    drop: function(event, ui) {
        alert(this.id);
    }

to find the id of the droppable (so you now which droppable has been used)
