How to trigger drop in jQuery?

Question

$(item).droppable({ drop: function(event, ui) { console.log("triggered"); } });

I try to call drop by

$(item).trigger("drop", [{},{draggable : $(target_item)}]);

But it doesn't work, any ideas?

Maybe what you want to do is:

$(item).bind('dropthis', function(e){
        console.log('triggered');
}).droppable({
    drop: function(event, ui) {
        $(this).trigger('dropthis',[event, ui]);
        }
});

And call the drop event by:

$(item).trigger("dropthis", [{},{draggable : $(target_item)}]);
