Good question. I can only guess that Draggables is probably using offsets to build the containment box and AFAIK, this does not take into account padding (and it shouldn't). The use of offsets was more than likely also the cause of the initial bounding issue you had. Even though you repositioned the parent using margins, since it was not relatively or absolutely positioned, the call to get parent offset was returning the parent's initial location minus the margin adjustment. WARNING: These are all just wild guesses off the top of my head, though. I could be completely wrong ;)

Subject: Re: [jQuery] Interface Draggables Problem Scott, Thanks, you rock! I knew it had to be something simple. One more question though. Any idea why it ignores my padding: 10px; setting on the parent element? Thanks again, Gord On 3/8/07, Weaver, Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Ah, easy fix. I went ahead and mimicked your site. All you need to do to fix this is to set the parent element, #page in your case, position:relative. Now it works like a charm! hth, -scott ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ] On Behalf Of Gord Busse Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2007 9:52 AM To: JQuery Discuss Subject: [jQuery] Interface Draggables Problem Greetings, I am new to JQuery and am very excited to start using it and jump into the world of javascript programming. I have been experimenting with the Interface plugins and have come across a problem or possible bug with the Draggable library. Please see the following page: http://www.gordbusse.com/test.htm I have a parent div horizontally centered on the page using: margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; And have a child div inside that set to be draggable. But the draggable div does not appear to be obeying the containment: 'parent' command and staying within the div. In fact it seems that there is a constraint but the constraint is left justified whereas the parent div is centered? Furthermore the draggable child div also appears to be ignoring the padding setting of the parent div as well? If I take out the auto margin settings to make the parent div left justified it looks better but it still doesn't seem to be working right? Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me. Gord _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
