    jQuery ui – make an element draggable

    on Apr 14, 2016

    jQuery ui can be used to make an element draggable/movable by mouse drag. Note that it does not work with touch events.

    Syntax:

    // After including jQuery and jQueryUI
    $("#drag1").draggable();
    

    Example

    <style>
    #drag1 {background-color: lightblue; width:100px;}
    </style>
    <div id="drag1">drag me</div>
    <br><div>another div</div>
    
    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script src="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      $(function() {
        $("#drag1").draggable();
      });
    </script>
    refresh done
    try it online

    Few points to note

    1. Element position is if static, is changed to relative by jquery code. This makes it a positioned element.
    2. Element if absolute or fixed, no change in it position value is done.
