jQuery UI Interaction : Draggable

Using jQuery UI draggable plugin , you can cause certain element draggable by mouse.

The element which are going to drag obtain a 'ui-draggable' class. This element obtain a 'ui-draggable-dragging' class while dragging.

Also, if you want to drag and drop this element, you need to incorporate jQuery UI Droppable plugin, which provides a drop target for draggables.

All callbacks (start, stop, drag) receive two arguments: The original browser event and a prepared ui object, view below for a documentation of this object (if you name your second argument 'ui'):

ui.helper - the jQuery object representing the helper that's being dragged
ui.position - current position of the helper as { top, left } object, relative to the offset element
ui.offset - current absolute position of the helper as { top, left } object, relative to page

EXAMPLE :

<!DOCTYPE html>

            <html>

            <head>

            <link href=

            "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8/themes

            /base/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

            /jquery.min.js"></script>
