Resizable, draggable object in jquery. Possible?

I want to have an object which is both resizable and draggable. I'll need:

X
Y
Size

of the object.

Is this possible?

There is an example on http://www.jsfiddle.net/davidThomas/DGbT3/1/ which gets the x and y of the draggable object. How can I also make it resizable?

Thanks

It's worth adding that this question is related to, and built on, this previous question: How to get the position of a draggable object?

Solution

Sure it is... jQuery UI is good for complex behaviors like drag and drop, resizing, selection and sorting.

With jQuery UI you can:

Drag
Drop
Resize
Sort

And you can everything chain together.

It is important for the resize feature that you include the jquery-ui.css file.
