[jQuery] Keeping custom properties when clone()-ing
So I've created two custom classes with "containers" (droppables) and
"items" (draggables) which have custom properties behaviors and some
awareness of eachother. Now I got to the point of having a container
tally up the price of all items inside it, but the problem is that
this only works on items that haven't been moved from one container to
another. Since I move them with clone(), they lose the properties I've
added.
Is there a simple way to ensure that properties I've added are copied
when cloning?
I would prefer to avoid workarounds, and stay close to good OOP
principles....
My cloning code looks like this. Already it's a bit ugly because it re-
addes behaviors to the draggable (getting this to work in the first
place was a bit confusing. If you just happen to see a fix for this
mess that would be great too)
//Now actually drop it. Clone it or don't....
if (dropped.parentNode.dragCopy) {
$(dropped).clone().appendTo(this).removeClass("ui-
draggable").draggable({
//Make sure we re-apply this snippet that changes opacity of
dragged items. Gets lost
// during cloning
helper: 'clone',
start: function (ev, ui) {
$(this).css({opacity: .5});
},
stop: function (ev, ui) {
$(this).css({opacity: 1});
}
});
