Delete Item when dragged away from draggables?

[christianmagill]

I have a grid of droppables that the user can drag items into. I'd like to allow those items to be deleted by dragging items away from the grid. It seems the default is to return the item to it's previous droppable.

Any suggestions?

I have never tried to implement this behavior, but maybe you are able to implement it in the draggable:stop event. However, you would have to check whether the draggable has been stopped outside or not on your own.

Thanks,

Turns out I jumped the gun on this. Can't seem to find anything that consistently gives me correct final positioning of the dragged item. I've tried offset and getBoundingClientRect, both can return results that are completely off screen even when the item is dropped within the grid.
