I'm trying to make a web page, where people can click on two objects and it creates a line between those two. But I want to go further on and be able to connect the last one with another one. This is the code I have so far.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
img {
padding: 1px;
margin: 2px;
float: left;
background-color: #99BC99
}
img.selected {
padding: 2px;
margin: 4px;
background-color: #E13300
}
</style>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('img').click(function(){
$(this).toggleClass('selected');
});
});
function connect(div1, div2, color, thickness) {
var off1 = getOffset(div1);
var off2 = getOffset(div2);
// bottom right
var x1 = off1.left + off1.width;
var y1 = off1.top + off1.height;
// top right
var x2 = off2.left + off2.width;
var y2 = off2.top;
// distance
var length = Math.sqrt(((x2-x1) * (x2-x1)) + ((y2-y1) * (y2-y1)));
// center
var cx = ((x1 + x2) / 2) - (length / 2);
var cy = ((y1 + y2) / 2) - (thickness / 2);
// angle
var angle = Math.atan2((y1-y2),(x1-x2))*(180/Math.PI);
// make hr
var htmlLine = "<div style='padding:0px; margin:0px; height:" + thickness + "px; background-color:" + color + "; line-height:1px; position:absolute; left:" + cx + "px; top:" + cy + "px; width:" + length + "px; -moz-transform:rotate(" + angle + "deg); -webkit-transform:rotate(" + angle + "deg); -o-transform:rotate(" + angle + "deg); -ms-transform:rotate(" + angle + "deg); transform:rotate(" + angle + "deg);' />";
//
document.body.innerHTML += htmlLine;
}
function getOffset( el ) {
var _x = 0;
var _y = 0;
var _w = el.offsetWidth|0;
var _h = el.offsetHeight|0;
while( el && !isNaN( el.offsetLeft ) && !isNaN( el.offsetTop ) ) {
_x += el.offsetLeft - el.scrollLeft;
_y += el.offsetTop - el.scrollTop;
el = el.offsetParent;
}
return { top: _y, left: _x, width: _w, height: _h };
}
window.testIt = function() {
var div1 = document.getElementById('div1')
var div2 = document.getElementById('div2')
connect(div1, div2, "#0F0", 5);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
</script>
<a onclick="testIt();">Draw line</a>
<span style="position: absolute; left: 933px; top: 211px;"> <img src="Untitled-2.jpg" alt="" width="35" height="35" id="div1"/></span>

<span style="position: absolute; left: 593px; top: 35px;"> <img src="Untitled-10.jpg" alt="" width="35" height="35" id="div9"/></span>
<span style="position: absolute; left: 784px; top: 42px;"> <img src="Untitled-1.jpg" alt="" width="35" height="35" id="div10"/></span>
</body>
</html>
But it stops with the first 2 divs. How can I update the div. Say I want div1 to be the previous div2 and div2 to be where i click. Thanks in advance and I apologize for the stupidity of the question. Best Regards.
You will need to cache the last element clicked.

Based on your code and not doing any major changes:
Also, instead of:
you need to do a :
