I don’t know what do mean by “saving position of an element” and how can that be useful, but you can try jQuery position()
and $.ajax()
methods:
Get the current coordinates of the first element in the set of matched elements, relative to the offset parent.
var t = $('a.icon').position().top;
var l = $('a.icon').position().left;
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "save.php",
data: { top: t, left: l}
}).done(function() {
alert( "Position Saved");
});
