jquery draggable database update

any suggestions

update the database using ajax, why not, but what is and where do you gett the data you want to send?

<li id="997" class="draggable ui-draggable" style="position: relative;">test1</li>

You want to send the id? For example you previously put li with id 998 in the droppable and now you put 997
So you send something like { id:997, previousid:998 }

yes that is exactly right. I will send 2 ids

 drop: function(e, ui) {

     var previousid = $(".previouslyDroppedClass").attr("id");
     var id =  ui.draggable.attr("id");
     $(".previouslyDroppedClass").removeClass("previouslyDroppedClass");
     ui.draggable.addClass("previouslyDroppedClass");
     // AJAX CALL USING POST METHOD
     $.post("yourURLhere", { "id":id, "previousid":previousid }, function(messageFromCF) {});

// your previous code here

}

Select allOpen in new window

it is always update the last dropped element what if i need to update the one that was dropped before

in your coldfusion code get previousid parameter value not id
of perhaps you don't need the new one so just pass previousid

I may not have a coldfsuion code for that page. The new post is here

Really having a hard time figuring out this issue

I dunno but if you're using ajax you have server side process, no?

so it's the same logic for any language, just send the right id to the right server side page/functio to remove the right data/row from your database.

right . Like I said I made some changes to the code which I shown here

NO  I do not use that piece because I reconstruct the code a little. Please take a look at this post
