JQuery UI Draggable Fails with newer JQuery 3.3 (using JQuery UI Touch Punch)


I implemented a split screen slider using Jquery UI with Touch Punch by dragging an icon - using the jQuery UI "draggable" feature. it works great on the desktop and on the mobile IOS phone. I went along with jQuery 1.12.4., based on some code provided by the author/source.

However, when I use the later jQuery 3.3.1, the dragging fails and I get console errors. The errors I get are:

jquery-ui.min.js:5 
Uncaught TypeError: e(...).find(...).andSelf is not a function
    at e.<computed>.<computed>._getHandle (jquery-ui.min.js:5)
    at e.<computed>.<computed>._getHandle (jquery-ui.min.js:5)

    at HTMLDivElement.dispatch (jquery-3.3.1.min.js:2)
    at HTMLDivElement.y.handle (jquery-3.3.1.min.js:2)

Don't quite understand the error messages above. Can anyone provide a fix using the later versions of jQuery (which I am using for many other parts of the site)?

The test code I have worked with below. You can cut/paste into a browser and should find it works as expected - click on the left/right arrows, drag and the split screen moves along with it:

<script>
$('#drag_line').draggable(
    {axis: "x",//to enable horizontal movement only, not vertical
        drag: function(){            
            var offset = $(this).offset();
            var xPos = Math.round(offset.left);
            //var yPos = offset.top;//not used
            $('#xPos').text(xPos);
            $('#side').width(xPos+50);
            $("#main").css('margin-left',xPos+50);
        }
    });
 </script>
</body>
</html>

The jQuery later version which draggable fails (does not move on click/drag) is:

    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js" integrity="sha256-FgpCb/KJQlLNfOu91ta32o/NMZxltwRo8QtmkMRdAu8=" crossorigin="anonymous"" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>

Thanks in advance!


Solution

  • Don't know the exact reason, but using a JQuery 3.3 along with a later version of JQuery UI 1.12.1 seemed to have solved the problem!
