interface plugin: Draggable({containment:'parent'}) uses wrong top/left

[sgbeal]

Hi!

When elem.Draggable({containment:'parent'}) is used, the SIZE of the contained area seems to be correct, but the coordinates appear to start off at x0,y0, instead of at the real top/left of the parent element. Thus {containment:'parent'} only works as advertized if the parent lives at the top/left of the document (i.e. is the first element). When using containment:[n1,n2,n3,n4], it works as advertized.

Browser: Firefox 2.0.0.4/Linux

The attached HTML file demonstrates this. It needs 2 js files: jquery.pack.js, interface.js

(edit to suit)

demonstrates the containment:'parent' x/y bug.

I've encounter the same problem myself. I am using float as well in my page and I get the same behaviour as sgbeal reported. I tried different scenarios (incl. removing all the floats) and the only working solution was to make the parent's position absolute.

Interface is no longer supported; consider switching to ​jQuery UI.
