jQuery UI draggable element always on top - jquery-ui

I need to have elements that are dragged from left-hand side area to be always on top. And they are when I first drag them from left area, however if I drop them into Box 2 and then decide to drag to Box 1, the item I drag appears below Box 1.
Confused? Here's DEMO of what I'm talking about.
Yes, I have added zIndex -- did not help.

Looks like you are doing some editing. :)
The solution is set the two boxes to the same z-index, and then lower the z-index of the sibling (the box the card is NOT over) using the "start" event. The "stop" event should set them equal again. Of course the draggable itself needs a higher z-index.
You can also try the stack option.
EDIT: Working example. Note that its actually the draggable drop event that needs to set the z-indexs equal again.
You'll need to make these changes (omit asterisks in your code, of course):
In dragdrop-client.js
// make the new card draggable
newCard.draggable({
zIndex: 2500,
handle: ".card",
stack: ".card",
revert: "invalid",
start: function() {
$(this).effect("highlight", {}, 1000);
$(this).css( "cursor","move" );
**var $par = $(this).parents('.stack');
if ($par.length == 1) {
console.log('in stack');
$par.siblings().css('z-index', '400');
}**
},
stop: function() {
$(this).css("cursor","default");
$(".stack").css('z-index', '500');
}
});
// make the new stack droppable
newStack.droppable({
tolerance: "intersect",
accept: ".card",
greedy: true,
drop: function(event, ui) {
**$(".stack").css('z-index', '500');**
card = ui.draggable;
putCardIntoStack(card,stackId);
}
});
In dragdrop-client.css
.stack {
width: 300px;
border: 1px dashed #ccc;
background-color: #f5f5f5;
margin: 10px;
float:left;
**z-index:500;**
}

I do what two7s_clash recommends for my drag-drop when elements are inserted dynamically. We have some elements being inserted over a canvas and then we want to drag n drop over everything:
start: function(e) { $('element').css('z-index', -1)}
stop: function(e) { $('element').css('z-index', 0)}

How to make the tooltip track mouse only horizontally using track:true?

I am currently using jquery ui tooltip and using the track:true option. It works perfectly, however I dont want the tooltip to track the mouse when moving vertical only horizontal
Any idea?.
$(function () {
$(document).tooltip({
items: ".entry",
position: {
my: "right bottom+50"
},
track: true,
content: function () {
return "<div class='hi'>This is a very nice entry! It's so pretty and I feel like I can touch it. This is just random filler text.</div>";
}
});})
I added the tooltipClass property to the tooltip as follows:
$(document).tooltip({
...
tooltipClass: "tooltip-position",
});
and added the following CSS to prevent the tooltip moving when scrolling vertically:
.tooltip-position {
top: 200px !important;
}
See here for a Fiddle

Reset positions from Jquery UI Sortable

I am using sortable from Jquery UI. Each time I get the value from resultPos, it gives me the last move, but rememebr the last order. I need to reset it.
For example, I have 3 elements:
Move 3rd element to 2nd position: end=1&end=3&end=2
Again ...
Move 3rd element to 2nd position: end=1&end=2&end=3
Again ...
Move 3rd element to 2nd position: end=1&end=3&end=2
I need to have something that return to me the following:
Move 3rd element to 2nd position: end=1&end=3&end=2
Again ...
Move 3rd element to 2nd position: end=1&end=3&end=2
Again ...
Move 3rd element to 2nd position: end=1&end=3&end=2
This is my code:
$( ".sortableChip" ).sortable({
revert: true,
containment: "#carousel",
axis: "x",
items: 'li.edited',
tolerance: 'pointer',
placeholder: 'draggin-space',
start: function(event, ui) {
var startPos = $('.sortableChip').sortable('serialize',{ key: 'start'});
},
sort: function(event, ui) {
ui.item.addClass('draggin');
$('.remove-chart').hide();
},
update: function(event, ui) {
var resultPos = $('.sortableChip').sortable('serialize',{ key: 'end'});
ui.item.removeClass('draggin');
}
});
every item in the jquery UI sortable is an LI, there are a few ways you can do it, one way is to to save a variable that has the sortable list contents when the page initially loads like in the document ready part. all its doing is rearranging the order of li tags that are inside of the ul tag.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#link').click(function(){
//this will empty out the contents of the ul
$('.sortableChip').html('');
/*this will replace the contents of the ul with
contents that were caputred
*/
$('.sortableChip').html(reset);
});
});
var reset = $('.sortableChip').html();
/*this is here at the bottom because you want to everything that is created
dynamically with jquery or javascript to be captured also.
*/
</script>
all you are basically doing is returning the right settings once the link is clicked and thats it, you actually don't need this line `$('.sortableChip').html('');
but I put it here so you know that its being emptied out and replaced
if they need to be sorted based on what you click you would save the states you want tohave as variables like reset and simply clear the contents and load the variables based on what the user clicks

jQuery UI droppable: resizing element on hover not working

I have a jQuery UI droppable element which I would like to get bigger when a draggable is hovered over it. I have tried both using the hoverClass option and also binding to the drophover event.
Visually, both these methods work fine. However, once the draggable exits the original (smaller) boundary of the droppable, jQuery UI interprets this as a 'dropout', despite still being within the current (larger) boundary.
For example, js:
$("#dropable").droppable({
hoverClass: 'hovering'
}.bind('dropout', function () {console.log('dropout')});
css:
#droppable { background: teal; height: 10px; }
#droppable.hovering { height: 200px; }
In this case, when a draggable hovers over the droppable, the droppable visually increases in size to 200px. If at this point, the draggable is moved down by 20px, I would expect it to still be hovering over the droppable. Instead, jQuery UI fires the dropout event and the droppable reverts to being 10px high.
Anyone know how to get it to behave in the way I'd expect it to?
jsFiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/kWFb9/
Had the same problem, I was able to solve it by using the following options:
$("#droppable").droppable({
hoverClass: 'hovering',
tolerance: 'pointer'
});
$('#draggable').draggable({
refreshPositions: true
});
Here's the working fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/kWFb9/51/
See http://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/2970
So I made a couple tweaks to your fiddle
First I set the droppable tolerance to "touch" which will activate whenever any part of the draggable is touching it. This causes the hovering class to be applied.
Next I added an animation to resize your draggable element slightly. I wasn't sure if this was functionality you wanted or not so I put it in there anyways.
Lastly, I permanently apply the hovering class to the droppable element when the draggable element is dropped into the droppable zone. This way the droppable doesn't revert to that narrow height when there is an element in it
http://jsfiddle.net/kWFb9/2/
EDIT:
Better fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/kWFb9/6/
I hope this helps :)
you could create a bigger (i.e. the size of #droppable.hovering) div without background and apply your droppable to it. Note that you didn't provide HTML but the new #drop_container should contain both divs.
JS
var dropped;
$("#droppable").droppable({
drop: function(event, ui) {
dropped = true;
}
});
$('#draggable').draggable({
start: function(event, ui) {
$("#droppable").addClass("hovering");
dropped = false;
},
stop: function(event, ui) {
if (!dropped) {
$("#droppable").removeClass("hovering");
}
}
});
CSS
#droppable { background: teal; height: 10px; }
#droppable.hovering, #drop_container { height: 200px; }
Or you could try another solution with .live() or .livequery() from this article
[EDIT] I've edited my code and here is a jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/94Qyc/1/
I had to use a global var, I didn't find a better way to check wether the box was dropped. If anybody has an idea, that would be great.
There is an other (hum hum) not bad solution :
TL;DR: Fiddle
The problem is that the plugin stores dom element's size values when the widget is created (something like) :
//jquery.ui.dropable.js
$.widget("ui.droppable", {
...
_create: function() {
var proportions,
this.proportions = function() { return proportions; }
And the offset for widgets are initialized in $.ui.ddmanager.prepareOffsets();
So we only need to overwrite the proportions object.
This way allow to access to real plugin properties so we can write something like :
$("#droppable").droppable({
hoverClass: 'hovering',
over: function(ev, ui) {
var $widget = $(this).data('droppable');
$widget.proportions = {
width: $(this).width(),
height: $(this).height()
};
},
out: function(ev, ui) {
var $widget = $(this).data('droppable'); //ui-droppable for latests versions
$widget.proportions = {
width: $(this).width(),
height: $(this).height()
};
}
})

jquery ui dialog fixed positioning

I needed the dialog to maintain its position fixed even if the page scrolled, so i used the
extension at http://forum.jquery.com/topic/dialog-position-fixed-12-1-2010 but there's 2 problems with it:
it flickers in IE and Firefox on page scroll (in Safari/Chrome it's fine)
on closing and then reopening, it looses its stickyness and scrolls along with the page.
Here's the code i'm using for creating the dialog:
$('<div id="'+divpm_id+'"><div id="inner_'+divpm_id+'"></div><textarea class="msgTxt" id="txt'+divpm_id+'" rows="2"></textarea></div>')
.dialog({
autoOpen: true,
title: user_str,
height: 200,
stack: true,
sticky: true //uses ui dialog extension to keep it fixed
});
And here's the code i'm using for reopening it:
jQuery('#'+divpm_id).parent().css('display','block');
Suggestions/solutions?
Thanks
I tried some of the solutions posted here, but they don't work if the page has been scrolled prior to the dialog being opened. The problem is that it calculates the position without taking into account the scroll position, because the position is absolute during this calculation.
The solution I found was to set the dialog's parent's CSS to fixed PRIOR to opening the dialog.
$('#my-dialog').parent().css({position:"fixed"}).end().dialog('open');
This assumes that you have already initialized the dialog with autoOpen set to false.
Note, this does not work if the dialog is resizable. It must be initialized with resizing disabled in order for the position to remain fixed.
$('#my-dialog').dialog({ autoOpen: false, resizable: false });
Tested this thoroughly and have found no bugs so far.
I combined some suggested solutions to the following code.
Scrolling, moving and resizing works fine for me in Chrome, FF and IE9.
$(dlg).dialog({
create: function(event, ui) {
$(event.target).parent().css('position', 'fixed');
},
resizeStop: function(event, ui) {
var position = [(Math.floor(ui.position.left) - $(window).scrollLeft()),
(Math.floor(ui.position.top) - $(window).scrollTop())];
$(event.target).parent().css('position', 'fixed');
$(dlg).dialog('option','position',position);
}
});
Update:
If you want to make it default for all dialogs:
$.ui.dialog.prototype._oldinit = $.ui.dialog.prototype._init;
$.ui.dialog.prototype._init = function() {
$(this.element).parent().css('position', 'fixed');
$(this.element).dialog("option",{
resizeStop: function(event,ui) {
var position = [(Math.floor(ui.position.left) - $(window).scrollLeft()),
(Math.floor(ui.position.top) - $(window).scrollTop())];
$(event.target).parent().css('position', 'fixed');
// $(event.target).parent().dialog('option','position',position);
// removed parent() according to hai's comment (I didn't test it)
$(event.target).dialog('option','position',position);
return true;
}
});
this._oldinit();
};
I could not get Scott's answer to work with jQuery UI 1.9.1. My solution is to reposition the dialog in a callback from the open event. First set the css position to fixed. Then position the dialog where you want it:
$('selector').dialog({
autoOpen: false,
open: function(event, ui) {
$(event.target).dialog('widget')
.css({ position: 'fixed' })
.position({ my: 'center', at: 'center', of: window });
},
resizable: false
});
Note: As noted in another answer, resizing the dialog will set its position to absolute again, so I've disabled resizable.
Bsed on Langdons's comment above, I tried the following, which works fine with jQuery-UI 1.10.0 and resizable dialogs:
$('#metadata').dialog(
{
create: function (event) {
$(event.target).parent().css('position', 'fixed');
},
resizeStart: function (event) {
$(event.target).parent().css('position', 'fixed');
},
resizeStop: function (event) {
$(event.target).parent().css('position', 'fixed');
}
});
try:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#myDialog').dialog({dialogClass: "flora"});
$('.flora.ui-dialog').css({position:"fixed"});
)};
(from http://dev.jqueryui.com/ticket/2848)
Force your dialog box's position to be position:fixed using CSS
$('.selector').dialog({ dialogClass: 'myPosition' });
and define the myPosition css class as:
.myPosition {
position: fixed;
}
$("#myDilog").dialog({
create:function(){
$(this).parent().css({position:"fixed"});
}
});
I found that these answers didn't work for me but combining some of them did.
I used the create function to set the dialog as fixed so it didn't scroll the window down when the dialog was created.
create: function (event) {
$(event.target).parent().css('position', 'fixed')
}
Also I used the open function to make sure the dialog didn't disappear off the screen by changing the top value.
open: function(event, ui) {
$(event.target).parent().css('top', '30%')
}
This worked with autoOpen and resizable.
$('#myDialog').dialog({ dialogClass: "flora" });
$('.flora.ui-dialog').css({ top: "8px" });
this will keep the dialog on top position no matter were we have clicked.
$('#'+tweetidstack.pop()).dialog("open").parent().css({position:"fixed"});
Why use $(document).ready ? This might be a recent development, but it works fine now.
$( ".ui-dialog" ).css("position","fixed");
$( ".ui-dialog" ).css("top","10px");
put this code on open function of dialog
First, create your dialog. Something like this:
$("#dialog_id").dialog({
autoOpen : false,
modal : true,
width: "auto",
resizable: false,
show: 'fade',
hide: { effect:"drop",duration:400,direction:"up" },
position: top,
height: 'auto',
title: "My awesome dialog",
resizeStart: function(event, ui) {
positionDialog();
},
resizeStop: function(event, ui) {
positionDialog();
}
});
$("#dialog_id").dialog('open');
Then make it auto center with this:
function positionDialog (){
setInterval(function(){
if($("#dialog_id").dialog( "isOpen" )){
$("#dialog_id").dialog('option','position',$("#dialog_id").dialog( "option", "position" ));
}
},500);
}
//setInterval is for make it change position "smoothly"
//You can take it off and leave just the if clausule and its content inside the function positionDialog.
The solution is actually really simple. I don't know if this applied when the question was asked but it does now anyway.
//First a container/parent-div with fixed position is needed
var dialogContainer=document.body.appendChild(document.createElement("div"));
dialogContainer.style.position="fixed";
dialogContainer.style.top=dialogContainer.style.left="50%";//helps centering the window
 
//Now whenever a dialog is to be created do it something like this:
$(myDialogContent).dialog({
appendTo: dialogContainer,
position: {
at: 'center center',
of: dialogContainer
}
});
About "appendTo": http://api.jqueryui.com/dialog/#option-appendTo
About "position": http://api.jqueryui.com/position/
While similar to some of the other answers above, I've found that I had to do more than just position: fix the dialog, but I also had to position: static it's content to keep it attached to the dialog.
$('<div id="myDialog" class="myClass">myContent</div>')
.dialog(dialogOptions)
.parent()
.css({ position: 'fixed' })
.end()
.position({ my: 'center', at: 'center', of: window })
.css({ position: 'static' });
After this, I could call .dialog('open') any time I wanted and it would simply appear where I left it. I actually have this in a function that will return the existing dialog or create a new one as needed and then I just change the values of the dialog before .dialog('open') gets called.
As i wrote in my blog https://xbrowser.altervista.org/informatica-portata/jquery-easyui-bug-fix-window-dialog-position-widget/
I've found a bug in “window” element or “dialog” element.
When you instantiate this widget, it go out of the main window browser, in particular in top and left position (when you drag o resize it).
To resolve this problem i’ve implemented this solution.
You can read the source code below:
$(dialog).window({
onMove: function(left, top) {
if (left < 0 || top < 0) {
left = (left < 0) ? 0 : left;
top = (top < 0) ? 0 : top;
$(this).window('move', {left: left, top: top});
}
},
onResize: function(width, height) {
var opt = $(this).window("options");
var top = opt.top;
var left = opt.left;
if (top < 0) {
top = (top < 0) ? 0 : top;
$(this).window('move', {left: left, top: top});
}
}
}).window("open");
The same code is for dialog:
$(dialog).dialog({
onMove: function(left, top) {
if (left < 0 || top < 0) {
left = (left < 0) ? 0 : left;
top = (top < 0) ? 0 : top;
$(this).dialog('move', {left: left, top: top});
}
},
onResize: function(width, height) {
var opt = $(this).window("options");
var top = opt.top;
var left = opt.left;
if (top < 0) {
top = (top < 0) ? 0 : top;
$(this).dialog('move', {left: left, top: top});
}
}
}).dialog("open");
Futhermore, when you call “$(this).window(“options”);” inside “onResize” method, and start your App,
you don’t see the window; so i must insert the “.window(“open”);” at the and of declaration of dialog.
I hope to help you.

Appended new divs, but they're not draggable?

I'm a newbie and have some problems with making new divs draggable.
The example is: http://jsbin.com/iyexi3/
The problem is when I show the dialog for the name, I create some divs, but they aren't draggable.
You've made some elements that are hardcoded in the HTML draggable by doing this:
$('.seleccionable').draggable({
drag: function(e, ui) {
$('#status_nombre').html($(this).attr('id'));
$('#status_top').attr('value',$(this).css('top'));
$('#status_left').attr('value',$(this).css('left'));
}
,containment: '#layout'
,refreshPositions: true
,snap: true
});
When you add a new element you need to call .draggable() for that one too.
One way to do it would be to put that selector/draggable code into a function and call it after you've added a new element.
The issue is that when you append a new element to the DOM, it doesn't inherit the event handlers of the existing draggable elements.
You may have some luck with liveQuery
This will allow you to create live events on all current and future elements matching a selector. It's similar to the built-in live() method. I haven't used it but it should work with draggable.
finally find the solution is afther append the new div...
$('#nv_objeto').click(function(){
var nbr =prompt("Por favor escriba el nombre del Objeto:","");
$("#layout").append("<div id='"+c_nbr(nbr)+"' class='seleccionable' style='top: 300px; left: 400px; width : 40px; height : 40px; background-color : black; position :absolute;'></div>");
$('#layout > div:last').blur().draggable({
drag: function(e, ui) {
$('#status_nombre').html($(this).attr('id'));
$('#status_top').attr('value',$(this).css('top'));
$('#status_left').attr('value',$(this).css('left'));
}
,containment: '#layout'
,refreshPositions: true
,snap: true
});
});
thanks for the help.
