jQuery Draggable Input Elements

I am trying to make form elements draggable using jQ开发者_如何学Pythonuery UI. For example, buttons, checkboxes, textfields, etc. So far I have had no luck. Do you have any ideas how to accomplish this?

Maybe 3 years too late but you could dispatch event and use following snippet for a more expected behaviour:

DEMO jsFiddle

$(".draggable").draggable({
    start: function (event, ui) {
        $(this).data('preventBehaviour', true);
    }
});
$(".draggable").find(":input").on('mousedown', function (e) {
    var mdown = new MouseEvent("mousedown", {
        screenX: e.screenX,
        screenY: e.screenY,
        clientX: e.clientX,
        clientY: e.clientY,
        view: window
    });
    $(this).closest('.draggable')[0].dispatchEvent(mdown);
}).on('click', function (e) {
    var $draggable = $(this).closest('.draggable');
    if ($draggable.data("preventBehaviour")) {
        e.preventDefault();
        $draggable.data("preventBehaviour", false)
    }
});

The trick consists to put a transparent div over the inputs elements :

div div{
    position:absolute;
    z-index:2;
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
}

div input{
    position:relative;
    z-index:1;
}
<div><div>&nbsp;</div><input type="text" value="..." disabled="true"/></div>
$('body>div').draggable();

I think this best suits your requirements :) Its draggable + resizable on input element, yet you don't lose their nature to be editable.

$(function(){
    $('.draggable').draggable().resizable();
});

Here's my solution for you: my jsFiddle.

Well input elements need to be editable, so making them draggable would make them uneditable.

Wrap them in a <span> or a <div>, and I strongly suggest you use a handle.

Another option is to put it in wrapper and set this CSS for the input:

pointer-events: none;

You wan't be able to enter modify the input values.

the best solution is that you put them into a div or span
