Question

I’m doing a drag and drop module now, and I need to get the position of the element on screen (don’t really care if it is page, screen or offset or any thing else), but it has to be from the right as my project is in a RTL language….everything is RTL, so the data has to be saved like that to the DB because resolution and resizing matters…

Does anyone know a jQuery/JavaScript/workaround for getting position from the right? I couldn’t find anything about it.

Answer 1

Since you’re asking about jQuery, I’m assuming you’re talking about the position() method, and that would be relative to the parent object, right? The position from the right would therefore be:

var pfr = element.parent().width() - element.position().left;
