Hi
I did ask this question already at the jQuery forums, but they are not as active as here.
I have encountered a problem when I have multiple droppable areas on a page. I have a 'static' droppable area that will never move, above a div that has multiple droppable areas and can scroll (overflow: scroll). When I scroll the div so that one of the droppables in the div is 'under' the static droppable, the drop event is fired for both areas if I drop on the static area.
Sorry, this explanation might be vague, so I put together a sample:
Markup:
<div style="float:left; width:300px; height: 300px; border: 1px solid #000;">
<ul class="draggables">
<li>Draggable</li>
<li>Draggable</li>
<li>Draggable</li>
<li>Draggable</li>
<li>Draggable</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="float:left; width:300px; height: 300px; border: 1px solid #000;">
<div class="static-droppable" style="width:298px; height:100px; border:1px solid #f00;">Static Drop Area</div>
<div style="width:298px; height:198px; overflow-y:scroll; border:1px solid #0f0;">
<ul class="scroll-droppables">
<li style="border:1px solid #00f; height:60px;">Droppable</li>
<li style="border:1px solid #00f; height:60px;">Droppable</li>
<li style="border:1px solid #00f; height:60px;">Droppable</li>
<li style="border:1px solid #00f; height:60px;">Droppable</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
Javascript:
//create draggables
jQuery('.draggables li').draggable({
revert: 'invalid',
cursor: 'move',
helper: 'clone'
});
//the static droppable area
jQuery('.static-droppable').droppable({
greedy: true,
drop: function(event, ui) {
alert('Dropped on static drop area!');
}
});
//scrolling droppables
Query('.scroll-droppables li').droppable({
drop: function(event, ui) {
alert('Dropped on scrolling drop area!');
}
});
I did try make the static drop area 'greedy', but that didn't seem to help in the situation.
Any idea on how to stop this happening?
