Relative position to container

[Voss]

Is there a way to get the relative position to it's container of a dropped element ?

thanks.

Hi Voss,

I am not quite sure what your current implementation is - is it possible to provide a simple dojo example which demonstrates it? This way I would be able to advice you further and provide concrete commendations. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

I can, but I think I just didn't explain the questions properly.

I have a square (container) 400x400 centered on the page.
I have a little square in the container that is draggable. 
When I drag then drop the little square inside the container I would like to know it's X/Y coordinates relative to the container and not the entire page.

I guess one way is to calculate the offset from the square, but wanted to check to see if there was a property that would give me this information on DROP.

thanks.

Hi Voss,

Thank you for the details. For this requirement I would suggest to attach a handler to the drop event and use the jQuery offset method. As an example:

$("#dropContainer").kendoDropTarget({
  //....
  drop: function(e) {
     //....
     console.log(e.draggable.hint.offset());
  }
});
