Hello Everyone, I am new to jquery and am using it in a project to develop a PHP based Mysql report generator. My question is not 100% jquery but more on application design?
I have a bunch of list items that I can drag and drop (thanks to jquery) on to a workspace - on dropping I create a <TH></TH> elelment with the value of the list item and an image which has a .click() attached with a call back to a remove(). - This all works as expected and really demonstrates how after just a couple of hours how powerfull jquery is. The hard part that I just cant get my head round is I need the value and position of each item dropped onto the page stored somehow. I have been using a bog standard js array and just pushing the new value into the array on the drop callback but if I remove one of the <TH></TH> then my array keys become out of sync. Any suggestions on how best to approach this - I am primarily a PHP developer and have been thinking of using Ajax to store the data in a temp table but this seems a little longwinded.. js gurus your ideas? Thanks - and hope I can repay the favour some time. Dave
