Newbie need help in keeping the dragged layer in itscurrent position even after refresh

[newbiejane]

Hi, guys.

How do I keep the dragged layer in its current position in the page even when
the page refreshes? I have this dynamic page that needs to refresh every minute
due to realtime data on it. And the layers (on which the data is posted to)
kept returning to its original place after refreshing. So it makes the dragging
feature useless.

Also, how do I keep the position of the layers permanently even when the
page/browser has been closed?

Last question, I have this embed audio (triggered like an alarm) in the layer.
Its controls are hidden. How do I stop the alarm using my own button (which
also hides the layer)?

Please help asap. I'm really new to DW.

The web page won't "remember" the last position of a draggable object unless
you store it somewhere, like a cookie or database. With each position change,
you could store the last x,y position in a cookie, and position that object at
that x,y position if the cookie has been set.

Hi, Elaine.
Can you tell me how that is done? I really have no clue on creating cookie and storing data in a cookie.
:o Help please.

Did you use the DW Drag Layer behavior to make the layer draggable? If so, then
I'll try to recommend something that works with the behavior.

If not, please show me the code you used to make the layer draggable.

Hi, Elaine.
Yes, I used DW Drag Layer behavior.

Hi Everyone.

Help please.

There would be no way to make the position persist through a page refresh
other than by writing it to a cookie.

I just don't think that is a good idea, frankly.
