Using mootools 1.3. The demo above is not what I want, I want the elemen to to move with the mouse, not a clone.
It seems i was not clear about the position relative thing. If I make an element with position static draggable, the desired behavior is to apply position relative and keep top/left properties intact (that would mean, left = top = 0). If i manually set position relative to those elements and make them draggable, left & top properties become the offsetParent of the element or something like that. No one would like that. UPDATE: i made a demo and the behavior got weirder: http://jsfiddle.net/4fCbQ/2/ On 12 mar, 11:57, Arian Stolwijk <[email protected]> wrote: > First calling the docs poor and saying jq is lots better doesn't help very > much to get you an answer.
