Menu
I just started looking into learning javascript, but unfortunately I need something to work quicker than I can learn it. Once I get this working, I can spend the time to start reading my books and working on other examples.
This is a drag script I found that just gives the ability to drag a picture around the screen. I need to save that position into a database so that it can be retrieved the next time that person logs in. I’m actually going to need this for multiple objects that will be moved, but I’ll just work with one for now. I think I know how to use PHP to get the values into the db, but I can’t get the position into a variable to start with.
Please help. I am desperate.
