Drag & Drop Panels using jQuery

Drag & Drop Panels using jQuery

Few days ago I found new theme on BBC World News Home webpage. The home page contains very new idea and this attracted me. I further google it and found they used jQuery for this purpose. The idea was implemented on home page, dragging and dropping.

After one hour googling I found some jQuery libraries on Google.com about this. Details are given below.

.column{

width:49%;

margin-right:.5%;

min-height:300px;

background:#fff;

float:left;

}

.column .dragbox{

margin:5px 2px  20px;

background:#fff;

position:relative;

border:1px solid #ddd;

-moz-border-radius:5px;

-webkit-border-radius:5px;

}

.column .dragbox h2{

margin:0;

font-size:12px;

padding:5px;

background:#f0f0f0;

color:#000;

border-bottom:1px solid #eee;

font-family:Verdana;

cursor:move;

}

.dragbox-content{

background:#fff;

min-height:100px; margin:5px;

font-family:’Lucida Grande’, Verdana; font-size:0.8em; line-height:1.5em;

}

.column  .placeholder{

background: #f0f0f0;

border:1px dashed #ddd;

}

.dragbox h2.collapse{

background:#f0f0f0 url(‘collapse.png’) no-repeat top right;

}

.dragbox h2 .configure{

font-size:11px; font-weight:normal;

margin-right:30px; float:right;

}

  • Add following code after <script> </script>
  • <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”styles.css” />
  • After that add code

<script type=”text/javascript” >

$(function(){

$(‘.dragbox’)

.each(function(){

$(this).hover(function(){

$(this).find(‘h2′).addClass(‘collapse’);

}, function(){

$(this).find(‘h2′).removeClass(‘collapse’);

})

.find(‘h2′).hover(function(){

$(this).find(‘.configure’).css(‘visibility’, ‘visible’);

}, function(){

$(this).find(‘.configure’).css(‘visibility’, ‘hidden’);

})

.click(function(){

$(this).siblings(‘.dragbox-content’).toggle();

})

.end()

.find(‘.configure’).css(‘visibility’, ‘hidden’);

});

$(‘.column’).sortable({

connectWith: ‘.column’,

handle: ‘h2′,

cursor: ‘move’,

placeholder: ‘placeholder’,

forcePlaceholderSize: true,

opacity: 0.4,

stop: function(event, ui){

$(ui.item).find(‘h2′).click();

var sortorder=”;

$(‘.column’).each(function(){

var itemorder=$(this).sortable(‘toArray’);

var columnId=$(this).attr(‘id’);

sortorder+=columnId+’='+itemorder.toString()+’&’;

});

alert(‘SortOrder: ‘+sortorder);

/*Pass sortorder variable to server using ajax to save state*/

}

})

.disableSelection();

});

</script>

  • Note all code should be add before </head>
  • Now add following code in <body>
