JQuery-UI containment: 'parent' does not work

Question

As you see here, div with the class .foo is draggable and has containment: 'parent' option, so it must stay in the bounds of its parent div, which is mainDiv, but it does not. Why is that?

 $(document).ready(function () { $('#deviceName li').draggable({ helper: 'clone', revert: 'invalid' }); $('#interface li').draggable({ helper: 'clone', revert: 'invalid' }); $('#display li').draggable({ helper: 'clone', revert: 'invalid' }); $('#output li').draggable({ helper: 'clone', revert: 'invalid' }); $('.foo').each(function(){ $(this).draggable({ containment: $(this).parent() }); }); $('#mainDiv').droppable({ drop: function (event, ui) { if(ui.draggable.hasClass('foo')){ } else { var title = ui.draggable.text().trim(); var item = $('<div class="foo">').append('<table class="elementTable"><tr><th class="thClass">' + title + '</th></tr></table>'); item.draggable(); $(this).append(item); } } }); });

Answer 1

Try with the following:

$('.foo').each(function(){
    $(this).draggable({
        containment: $(this).parent()
    });
});

Reason is that the containment option can also be a jquery selector or an actual element.

You can try it in this demo

$('.foo').each(function() {
  $(this).draggable({
    containment: $(this).parent()
  });
});

The above code is called before the elements was created. So wrap them in a function can call it when a new object is created.

function foo(){
  $('.foo').each(function() {
    $(this).draggable({
      containment: $(this).parent()
    });
  });
}

Working snippet

 $(document).ready(function() { $('#deviceName li').draggable({ helper: 'clone', revert: 'invalid' }); $('#interface li').draggable({ helper: 'clone', revert: 'invalid' }); $('#display li').draggable({ helper: 'clone', revert: 'invalid' }); $('#output li').draggable({ helper: 'clone', revert: 'invalid' }); function foo(){ $('.foo').each(function() { $(this).draggable({ containment: $(this).parent() }); }); } $('#mainDiv').droppable({ drop: function(event, ui) { if (ui.draggable.hasClass('foo')) { } else { var title = ui.draggable.text().trim(); var item = $('<div class="foo">').append('<table class="elementTable"><tr><th class="thClass">' + title + '</th></tr></table>'); item.draggable(); $(this).append(item); foo() } } }); });
