This is how the jQuery UI team programmatically trigger drop event. droppable_events.js: draggable = $( “#draggable1” ).draggable(), droppable1 = $( “#droppable1” ).droppable( config ), droppable2 = $( “#droppable2” ).droppable( config ), droppableOffset = droppable1.offset(), draggableOffset = draggable.offset(), dx = droppableOffset.left – draggableOffset.left, dy = droppableOffset.top – draggableOffset.top; draggable.simulate( “drag”, { dx: dx, dy: dy }); … Read more
I found that Keith’s method worked for me. Since his answer doesn’t include an example implementation, I’ll post mine: $(‘.dropTarget’).droppable({ drop: function(ev, ui) { var dropped = ui.draggable; var droppedOn = $(this); $(dropped).detach().css({top: 0,left: 0}).appendTo(droppedOn); } }); or, slightly more concisely: $(‘.dropTarget’).droppable({ drop: function(ev, ui) { $(ui.draggable).detach().css({top: 0,left: 0}).appendTo(this); } });
