Obtaining a single element from a hidden display while dragging using Jquery UI

Is there a way to move an element outside of a container with overflow hidden when using drag and drop functionality in CSS? Currently, when I drag an element with the "item" class, it stays within the confines of the container with overflow set to hidden. How can I make it move outside of the container while dragging?

<div class="holder" style="overflow:hidden;">
     <div class="conveyor">
          <img src="image1.jpg" class="item" />
          <img src="image2.jpg" class="item" />
          <img src="image3.jpg" class="item" />
     </div>
</div>

<script>

     $('.item').draggable();

</script>

I've attempted to append the dragged item to a different parent element, but then it doesn't return to the original holder. Any suggestions on how to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated!

Attempted code for appending the item:

$('.item').draggable(
     helper:'clone';
     revert:'invalid',
     start:function(){
          $(this).parent().parent().append(this);
     }
)

Answer №1

Just located the solution right over here -> http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Draggable. Whew... that required a fair amount of searching!

The appendTo option allows the element passed to it to serve as the container for the draggable helper during dragging. By default, the helper is appended to the same container as the draggable itself.

$('.selector').draggable({ appendTo: 'body' });

Appreciate the assistance!

Answer №2

Special thanks to David for the help. I actually had to include an additional option in my case:

// Drag and Drop
$('.draggable').draggable({ 
    revert: true,
    appendTo: 'body',
    helper: 'clone'
});

Answer №3

Are you satisfied with either of these options?

$('.element').draggable( {containment: 'viewport'} );

$('.element').draggable( {containment: 'body'} );
