Very useful. Thanks.

can you help me? it gives me allways: d1_offset is undefined

Thank you for the amazing code, that you have spend your time on making, to help all future developers that might soon be the CEO of the biggest company in the new world.

This is great, Thank you so much

Thanks. More cleanup

let isColliding = function (div1, div2) {

    let d1Offset = div1.offset();
    let d1Height = div1.outerHeight(true);
    let d1Width = div1.outerWidth(true);
    let d1Top = d1Offset.top + d1Height;
    let d1Left = d1Offset.left + d1Width;

    let d2Offset = div2.offset();
    let d2Height = div2.outerHeight(true);
    let d2Width = div2.outerWidth(true);
    let d2Top = d2Offset.top + d2Height;
    let d2Left = d2Offset.left + d2Width;

    return !(d1Top < d2Offset.top || d1Offset.top > d2Top || d1Left < d2Offset.left || d1Offset.left > d2Left);
};
