jquery draggable: how to limit the draggable area?

Question

Use the "containment" option:

jQuery UI API - Draggable Widget - containment

The documentation says it only accepts the values: 'parent', 'document', 'window', [x1, y1, x2, y2] but I seem to remember it will accept a selector such as '#container' too.

$(function() { $( "#draggable" ).draggable({ containment: "window" }); });

of this code does not display. Full code and Demo: http://www.limitsizbilgi.com/div-tasima-surukle-birak-div-drag-and-drop-jquery.html

In order to limit the element inside its parent:

$( "#draggable" ).draggable({ containment: "window" });

Here is a code example to follow. #thumbnail is a DIV parent of the #handle DIV

buildDraggable = function() {
    $( "#handle" ).draggable({
    containment: '#thumbnail',
    drag: function(event) {
        var top = $(this).position().top;
        var left = $(this).position().left;

        ICZoom.panImage(top, left);
    },
});
