jQuery draggable DIV with icon

I want to make some draggable DIV's with jQuery' draggable, but those shouldn't be draggable themselve, but only with the help of a little icon on top of each DIV, so that i can only move it, if i click and drag that icon above the DIV instead of dragging whenever I click and drag the the div.

Thanks in advance

Solution

  • Use the handle:

    $( "#draggable" ).draggable({
  handle: "p"
});

    Snippet

    $(function() {
  $( "#draggable" ).draggable({ handle: "p" });
  $( "#draggable2" ).draggable({ cancel: "p.ui-widget-header" });
  $( "div, p" ).disableSelection();
});
    #draggable, #draggable2 { width: 100px; height: 100px; padding: 0.5em; float: left; margin: 0 10px 10px 0; }
#draggable p { cursor: move; }
