Save drag drop layout

JavaScript
1

Hi Folks,

Can anyone tell me the best way to do this. I need to save the layout of my page:

http://www.sandwell.nhs.uk/test/test.html

I’d like to store the page layout in a database, but I dont understand how to capure the DOM, would I need to save the ID’s of each moveable element in a list, and save that to a database?

How would i save the items in a list?

I can create the drag drop interface no problem, its saving the layout thats giving me problems.

I can’t find much on the web about how this works at all.

Any help much appreciated.

many thanks

Thanks alot for your reply.

How do I actually capture the order of the portlets in the first place? Its that I’m struggling with.

You don’t need a database for this.

What you can do is create a cookie and store the layout information inside of it.
