jQuery Draggable and overflow issue [closed]

Question

I am having an undesired effect when I drag a div from a container div which is set as overflow: scroll.

I have found an example of someone else where they have had the issue but I have been unable to find a resolution

Example on Paste bin

What happens is that the scroll is just increased, I can see why this would be the desired behaviour if you wanted to drag to a destination within the scrollable div but I want to be able to take it outside of its scrolling grasp.

Answer 1

I had a similar problem enabling a drag between two overflow-auto divs. With the help of the previous answers, I found that this combination works for me (Safari 5.0.3, jquery-1.4.4, jquery-ui-1.8.7):

appendTo: 'body', containment: 'window', scroll: false, helper: 'clone' 

Answer 2

appendTo

Element, SelectorDefault:'parent'

The element passed to or selected by the appendTo option will be used as the draggable helper's container during dragging. By default, the helper is appended to the same container as the draggable.

Code examples Initialize a draggable with the appendTo option specified.

$('.selector').draggable({ appendTo: 'body' });
