JQuery Draggable Offset Error - javascript

I am having an issue with draggable. When you start dragging, the cursors' position is measured relative to [0,0] of the window, not the parent <div> of the draggable elements.
For example, if the parent container is offset by a margin-left:200px, when you try to drag-right an element that is sitting against the left border of the container, it will only start moving once the cursor is 200 pixel to the right of this left border.
For an actual demo please see (I couldn't replicate this on JSFiddle): Demo
I imagine this requires some modification to the draggable source. It's just a little complicated for me.
Any ideas?

You could get the parents offset by using $(element).offsetParent(). Especially handy when parent elements are positioned absolute.
You could write a loop to go over all parent elements and compound their offsets.
And FYI your demo doesnt work on touch-enabled devices ;)
Update
I took a look at your demo, (finally on a pc again). If you remove the 'position:relative' of the div.container the draggables work as expected (or at least as I think you expect them to behave :D ).

I also had this issue and was able to solve it by first calculating the offset of the bounding box to the window, both left and right. Next I updated the containment x1, y1, x2, y2 positions to reflect the position of the bounding box.

Explain "SLIDER" drag and drop on protractor with a proper example

browser.actions().dragAndDrop(elem, target).perform();
I can clearly understand the above code but I cannot get how to specify this element and target.
Take this example
browser.actions().dragAndDrop(slider,{x:100, y:0}).perform();
In the website in which I'm working on, I cannot find any x, y or anything I can match with that and develop.
So it will be helpful if someone explains with some example for x and y so that I can relate to it and make I work.
The dragAndDrop() has two ways to work.
One starts with the element to drag. Here elem works as normal ElementFinder, so something like dragAndDrop(element(by.css('div.my-class')), target).perform();.
Now the target works in two ways: Either as another ElementFinder like in elem or as coordinates to move, starting from the position of elem, moving x pixels horizontally and y pixels vertically (plus to the right or top, minus to the left or bottom). So {x:100, y:0} will move your slider 100 pixels to the right from the starting position.
dragAndDrop(element(by.css('div.my-class')), {x:100, y:0}).perform(); will therefore move the element(by.css('div.my-class')) 100 pixels to the right.

Getting CSS left and top when div is rotated

I'm trying to get the style.left and style.top of a rectangular div, after it has been rotated using style.transform=rotate(90deg).
I understand how the div is being rotated, with it being rotated around a 'transform point'. And I also understand that a div could be rotated by 45 degrees, so giving the new top/left of that would be awkward (In effect giving the bounding box left/top).
But back to the original question, rotating the rectangular div by 90 degrees, is there a way to get the 'new' left/top?
The reason I need this, is for a project im working on to upload images, allow the user to zoom, rotate etc, but currently having to do it with PHP to keep all the dimensions correct for the final image (Which is obviously bad, because I'm having to keep loading a new image once PHP has done the rotating/zooming etc)
I've also made a little jsfiddle showing that the top/left position doesn't change when it is rotated
Okay, thanks to the comment left above, I managed to throw together an answer.
Basically using:
newleft = parseInt(div.style.top) + Math.cos(90) * parseInt(div.style.height);
newtop = parseInt(div.style.left) + Math.sin(90) * parseInt(div.style.height);
after the div had been rotated.
I've updated my jsfiddle aswell, because the one in the comment above uses jQuery, but this way uses only javascript.

Drawing lines between elements

How can I draw a line between every h2 element on my HTML page so that I can receive the effect in the picture below? Initially, I would presume you would go about this by working out the size of the line required in-between the divs (divs are separated by the 1px horizontal line) + the distance between each of the h2s, but i'm not entirely sure how one could work out this distance.
You can try something like:
a) find the position w.r.t document (i.e. by calling $(element).offset()) of the 2 elements you want to connect, call the positions p1 and p2
b) Append an absolutely positioned canvas to the body with a z-index to ensure it is displayed on top of everything else.
c) Draw a line between p1 and p2 on the canvas
This is assuming the elements can be anywhere on screen. If the line you need to draw is assured to be always horizontal or vertical, it can probably be done in a simpler manner.
Just use offset() method. You can easily find the distance between elements using it.

Spot the ball game, zooming problems, jQuery

I am trying to create a spot the ball game, so it will (eventually) be an image of a player kicking a ball but the ball has been removed and the player needs to click where the ball should be.
The first version went well and works.
http://enjoythespace.com/sites/game/test.html
But what I need to add is some sort of zooming so you can see more accurately where you are clicking. I been playing around and have come up with this
http://enjoythespace.com/sites/v2/demo.html
But once you click it looks great when zoomed in but when you go back to the image its way off.
I think its todo with how the image is setup, the #webpage is half the original size of the image and the #retina uses the full size of the image.
Any help?
The first problem is that you aren't setting the retina backgroundPosition correctly.
This code works (I added a zoom variable to make it clear how changing the zoom would change the calculation, but it would need other changes too):
/* Moving the retina div with the mouse
(and scrolling the background) */
zoom = 2.0;
retina.css({
left : left - sizes.retina.width/2,
top : top - sizes.retina.height/2,
backgroundPosition : ""+(-zoom*left+sizes.retina.width/2)+'px '+(-zoom*top+sizes.retina.height/2)+'px'
});
Test this by checking that all four corners are seen correctly in the retina, i.e. when you're over the corner of the main image, the corner should be in the center of the retina circle.
The second problem is if you resize the browser the position calculations are out because the offset variable isn't updated for the new size. A simple way to do this is to put this as the first line of webpage.mousemove() so the offsets are updated every time:
var offset = { left: webpage.offset().left, top: webpage.offset().top };
It looks like you are passing the top/left position click point of the zoomed image to highlight where you have clicked. What you will need to do is alter your top/left position based on whether the fisheye is over the image or not.
Does the un-zoomed image have to be part of the news page or can it be a standalone image?
If it can be standalone then the solution should be quite simple. If the zoomed in image is twice the size of the unzoomed one then you can just set the top/left values of the highlight to half the value of the zoomed, when looking at the unzoomed.
Jquery position will allow you to accurately get the position.

How to pan and zoom to fit an element with SvgPanZoom

I'm using svg-pan-zoom library and I need to pan/zoom the view to fit a particular element.
I could use fit method but it fits the whole content in this case I need to fit only one particular element.
Another option can be to calculate the pan and zoom required and use the custom control, but how to get the pan/zoom of an element to fit the window?
UPDATE
I tried to follow the #bumbu "easier" solution. That was my first thought but I have encountered some troubled with the zooming point position.
This is a fiddle to show the expected behaviour and the calculation attempt.
http://jsfiddle.net/mgv5fuyw/2/
this is the calculation:
var bb=$("#target")[0].getBBox();
var x=bb.x+bb.width/2;
var y=bb.y+bb.height/2;
But somehow the zooming center expected (225,225) is not the right one.
I found a solution panning before zooming, I could not find the right way to use zoomAtPoint() method.
http://jsfiddle.net/mgv5fuyw/3/
var bb=$("#target")[0].getBBox();
var vbb=panZoomInstance.getSizes().viewBox;
var x=vbb.width/2-bb.x-bb.width/2;
var y=vbb.height/2-bb.y-bb.height/2;
var rz=panZoomInstance.getSizes().realZoom;
var zoom=vbb.width/bb.width;
panZoomInstance.panBy({x:x*rz,y:y*rz});
panZoomInstance.zoom(zoom);
Without going into detail I'd try 2 approaches:
Easier:
Init the svg-pan-zoom library
Fit and center you SVG
Calculate positions (top-left and bottom-right, or center and size) of the elements you're interested in
Now based on viewport size you should be able to calculate zoom level and center point of each element
Harder:
Figure out relative position of the original objects relative to original viewport
Based on current viewport size you should be able to calculate zoom level and center point of each element
