    <p>I am trying to make a chess board with draggable pieces using jquery where the pieces snap to the new destination square. I have been experimenting with a variety of concepts but I have not been able to make anything I try work. </p> <p>I believe I'm missing some fundamental concepts.</p> <p>I have written some code that loads a few pieces on a board and makes them draggable, but I haven't been able to figure out how to define the grid without manual math. I can place the pieces after using the below manual system.It seems like an excellent candidate for a for loop and a multidimensional array. I would ultimately like to say that</p> <p><code>a1 = [0+"%",0+((7/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((1/8)*100)+"%"], a2 = [0+((2/8)*100)+"%",0+((7/8)*100)+"%"]</code> </p> <p>so I can later use algebraic notation, etc. for all ranks and files. </p> <pre><code>function initCoords(){ var aFile = [[0+"%",0+((7/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((1/8)*100)+"%",0+((7/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((2/8)*100)+"%",0+((7/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((3/8)*100)+"%",0+((7/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((4/8)*100)+"%",0+((7/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((5/8)*100)+"%",0+((7/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((6/8)*100)+"%",0+((7/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((7/8)*100)+"%",0+((7/8)*100)+"%"]]; var bFile = [[0+"%",0+((6/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((1/8)*100)+"%",0+((6/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((2/8)*100)+"%",0+((6/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((3/8)*100)+"%",0+((6/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((4/8)*100)+"%",0+((6/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((5/8)*100)+"%",0+((6/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((6/8)*100)+"%",0+((6/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((7/8)*100)+"%",0+((6/8)*100)+"%"]]; var cFile = [[0+"%",0+((5/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((1/8)*100)+"%",0+((5/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((2/8)*100)+"%",0+((5/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((3/8)*100)+"%",0+((5/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((4/8)*100)+"%",0+((5/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((5/8)*100)+"%",0+((5/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((6/8)*100)+"%",0+((5/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((7/8)*100)+"%",0+((5/8)*100)+"%"]]; var dFile = [[0+"%",0+((4/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((1/8)*100)+"%",0+((4/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((2/8)*100)+"%",0+((4/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((3/8)*100)+"%",0+((4/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((4/8)*100)+"%",0+((4/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((5/8)*100)+"%",0+((4/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((6/8)*100)+"%",0+((4/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((7/8)*100)+"%",0+((4/8)*100)+"%"]]; var eFile = [[0+"%",0+((3/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((1/8)*100)+"%",0+((3/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((2/8)*100)+"%",0+((3/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((3/8)*100)+"%",0+((3/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((4/8)*100)+"%",0+((3/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((5/8)*100)+"%",0+((3/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((6/8)*100)+"%",0+((3/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((7/8)*100)+"%",0+((3/8)*100)+"%"]]; var fFile = [[0+"%",0+((2/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((1/8)*100)+"%",0+((2/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((2/8)*100)+"%",0+((2/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((3/8)*100)+"%",0+((2/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((4/8)*100)+"%",0+((2/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((5/8)*100)+"%",0+((2/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((6/8)*100)+"%",0+((2/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((7/8)*100)+"%",0+((2/8)*100)+"%"]]; var gFile = [[0+"%",0+((1/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((1/8)*100)+"%",0+((1/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((2/8)*100)+"%",0+((1/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((3/8)*100)+"%",0+((1/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((4/8)*100)+"%",0+((1/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((5/8)*100)+"%",0+((1/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((6/8)*100)+"%",0+((1/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((7/8)*100)+"%",0+((1/8)*100)+"%"]]; var hFile = [[0+"%",0+((0/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((1/8)*100)+"%",0+((0/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((2/8)*100)+"%",0+((0/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((3/8)*100)+"%",0+((0/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((4/8)*100)+"%",0+((0/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((5/8)*100)+"%",0+((0/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((6/8)*100)+"%",0+((0/8)*100)+"%"],[0+((7/8)*100)+"%",0+((0/8)*100)+"%"]]; } </code></pre>

    1. COI would suggest that you find another way to do this! Your current method appears to very tightly bind the "Model" of the chess board with the graphical representation...

    2. COI agree, even your ultimate goal is simply a big `WTF` for me. Use abstractions.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
