I'm trying to get the div width and height as the user changes it and submit that number to another page. I can't seem to figure out how to get the width and height though.
<script>
$(function() {
$( "#set div" ).draggable({
stack: "#set div",
preventCollision: true,
containment: $('#main_content'),
stop: function(event, ui) {
var mydiv = document.getElementById("set");
var pos_x = ui.offset.left;
var pos_y = ui.offset.top;
var width = mydiv.style.width; ----THIS DOESN'T WORK
var height = mydiv.style.height; ----THIS DOESN'T WORK
var window_width = window.innerWidth;
var window_height = window.innerHeight;
var need = ui.helper.data("need");
console.log(pos_x);
console.log(pos_y);
console.log(width);
console.log(window_width);
console.log(need);
//Do the ajax call to the server
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "updatecoords.php",
data: { x: pos_x, y: pos_y, need_id: need, width: width, height: height, window_width: window_width, window_height: window_height}
}).done(function( msg ) {
alert( "Data Saved: " + msg );
});
}
});
});
</script>
What's the proper way to do this?
Since you're already using jQuery, you can just do:
var width;
if (need == 1) {
width = $("#web").width();
} else {
width = $("#set").width();
}
