I'm trying to add a drop
event in my backbone view but I can't get it right. Below is the code I'm using and you can also check out this jsfiddle.
var View = Backbone.View.extend({
events: {
'drop .dropzone': 'drop'
},
drop: function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
alert('Dropping');
},
initialize: function() {},
render: function() {}
});
$(function() {
var view = new View({
el: $('.dropzone');
});
});
if your view's el == .dropzone then you should do
events: {
'drop': 'drop'
},
if you specify just event type without selector it will listen to event on the view's root element - $('.dropzone') in this case.
The way you did it here would try to find .dropzone element among children of .dropzone element - and clearly it would fail to find this element at all
