jquery draggable

i have a div i want to drag confined in a particular container. i tried using the containment: parent option but this results in the div getting snapped to upper or lower bounds without dragging. i have overflow:hidden set, i hope that is not a problem. (i read it somewhere)

pls help me out.

the code:

imgCanvas.appendChild(img); 
overlay.appendChild(imgContainer);

$(document).ready(function() { 
  $("#draggable").draggable({
    containment: '#imgContainer', 
    scroll: false
  });                                                       
});

the #draggable is a div that contains the img, and #draggable is appended to imgContainer. i hope this helps somehow.

Solution

  • The following works perfectly for me (You'll have to modify the containment plots to match your draggable element dimensions though):
