A long time ago I created a dialog box in my application. The dialog is pretty simple, position absolute, centered in the screen via javascript.
Now I have added jQuery UI to the application but I do not want to use jQuery UI's dialogs just because they work differently. But I did make my dialog draggable using jQuery UI as it is very easy:
$('#dialog').draggable();
There is one problem with that, some of my dialogs have scrollbars.
But using the draggable method, if there is a scrollbar, it bugs because it drags the dialog.
Is there a way for the dialog to not drag while using the scrollbar ?
I noticed there are some ways to avoid elements to be dragged, but scrollbars are not elements.
Thank you

As a workaround, you could try using the handle
option and only make the dialog draggable by the parts that aren't scrollable. (The title or some such.)
Another solution that @AlexFigueiredo pointed out involves just wrapping the content / handle in a div
that handles the sizing and scrolling – that seems stop the click event from being sent to the handle.
