How do I duplicate Facebook picture tagging functionality?
- by marcamillion
I asked this question in another post - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2597773/how-do-i-put-a-div-box-around-my-cursor-on-click
I got a wonderful answer. See the code below:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#image-wrapper").click(function(e){
var ele = $("<div>");
ele.css({width:"50px", height:"50px", border:"1px solid green", position:"absolute", left: e.pageX - 25, top: e.pageY -25});
$("body").append(ele);
});
});
</script>
<div id="image-wrapper" style="border: 1px solid red; width: 300px; height: 200px;">
</div>
The issue I am having is that when I implement this snippet, on every click a box appears and stays there. So if I click on the image 10 times, I get 10 boxes. How do I get the previous box to disappear once I click somewhere else (i.e. have the box move to another place on the image (just like with Facebook Picture Tagging))?
Thanks.
