Hi alpineedge3,
First of all, try to use Event.positionX(event) and
Event.positionY(event) instead.
I assume that the chunk of code you gave as an example comes from a
server-side language like php, so I will simplify this with raw
JavaScript.
If you want to get the cursor position, try something like this:
new Draggable('div_id', {
onStart: function(draggable, event) {
alert('before drag:' + Event.positionX(event) + ';' +
Event.positionY(event));
},
onEnd: function(draggable, event) {
alert('after drop:' + Event.positionX(event) + ';' +
Event.positionY(event));
}
});
Here is the online API docs of Prototype to get started with the Event
object: http://www.prototypejs.org/api/event
And the Script.aculo.us documentation for the Draggable class:
http://github.com/madrobby/scriptaculous/wikis/draggable
But if you want to have the position of the draggable object itself,
you may want to proceed differently, using Element#positionedOffset:
http://www.prototypejs.org/api/element/positionedoffset
