In encountered a similar problem today and found a workaround. I don't
feel that it's a perfect solution, though.
On my page, I have three DIV elements to hold various items. After
each drop, I wanted a tally of what items were in each DIV. The only
problem was when I was dragging elements from one DIV to
another...when any event I had access to fired, I was still in the
middle of the drop and the count would be off.
Here's what I implemented, using the setTimeout() function in
javascript. Let's say I have a function "tallyFunction" that I wanted
to fire. In my droppable "drop" option, I specified the following:
$("#myObjectId").droppable({
accept : '.myItem',
drop : function(ev, ui) {
//do stuff
setTimeout("tallyFunction()",5);
}
});
function tallyFunction() {
//do stuff
}
***
The "5" in the setTimeout() function is in milliseconds. This really
only works if you can be sure your drop function will do its stuff by
the time the cleanup function fires and before the user does something
again. For me, this works at 1 millisecond, but it wouldn't be great
for a function that does a ton of processing.
Hope this gives at least one option or leads you to another
workaround.
