Question

I have two div on my page. One is draggable and other is droppable.

Draggable div:

<div id='drag'>
    <div id='one'>11111</div>
    <div id='two'>22222</div>
<div>

Droppable div

<div id='drop'>

</div>

I am using following jQuery code to append the contents of div ‘drag‘ to div ‘drop‘ on drop event of draggable div.

$(function() {
        $( "#drag" ).draggable();
        $( "#drop" ).droppable({
            drop: function( event, ui ) {
                $( this ).append( ui.draggable.html();
            }
        });
    });

Now what I want to do is , I don’t want to show the contents of div ‘two‘(which is inside div ‘drag‘) to the user. But still when a user drops the div ‘drag‘ on div ‘drop‘ , the content of both div ‘one‘ and ‘two‘ should get appended to div ‘drop‘.

So the user should see the content of div ‘drag’ as:(div ‘two’ is hidden)

111111

But after drop of div ‘drag’, the content of div ‘drop’ should be:

111111
222222

Please guide me how to hide the content of div ‘one‘ from user, but still use it on drop event.

Slight changes in the markup and js script as follows

<div id='drag' style="border:solid 1px blue;height:50px;">
    <div id='one'  >11111</div>
    <div id='two' ><span style="visibility:hidden;">22222</span></div>
</div>


<div id='drop' style="border:solid 1px red;height:50px;">

</div>

​

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#drag").draggable();

    $("#drop").droppable({
        drop: function(event, ui) {
            $(this).append(ui.draggable.text());
        }
    });
});​
