Draggable: Add support for dir="rtl"

[inamjameel]

I am using JQuery Drag n drop, tabs, dialog boxes etc in my Stock trading application. its functioning fine in ltr css direction. the problem is all the Drag n drop operations are handled through, relative absolute positioning and handles Left, Top property of the css to handle widgets place. i want to enable this (drag n drop) functionality in rtl css direction too. please let me know if there is already a support available in the Jquery 1.3. or any suggestion to optimize the solution if i have to implement it in rtl direction by transforming left to right and vice versa.

Need to take RTL into account for 2.0.0. Usually browsers are pretty smart about RTL and hardly require us to support it directly.

What exactly is the request? How does LTR affect dragging? Is this a request to support using right instead of left?

Hi, I have the same issue. I am using jquery-1.6.2 and jquery.ui.draggable to use JQuery Drag n drop. its functioning fine in ltr css direction. When I used rtl direction, I have a problem while dragging the image, position of the mouse when I clicked into the image to begin drag change. please let me know if there any suggestion to optimize the solution if i have to implement it in rtl direction by transforming left to right and vice versa.

Thanks

leen: It's not possible for us to provide any help until we get more information. See my unanswered questions in ​comment 4. A reduced test case goes a long way.

We need a reduced test case that shows the issue you are experiencing. You can use this as a starting point: ​http://jsfiddle.net/tj_vantoll/kY7FA/.

could you please have look at : ​http://jsfiddle.net/q9Zq4/

I tried it in ​http://jsfiddle.net/hhri/kY7FA/5/
But i can't make the problem show. In my case i have to scroll the dragged object all over the background image, for that i have a scroll bar and i think that what causes my problem, because when i set the main div width to 100% everything works fine

Thanks mojehfilm.

Here's a test case ​http://jsfiddle.net/tj_vantoll/wruxS/.

The draggable interaction is set for a ​rewrite in 1.13 and we will likely not be investigating this before then. If you'd like to look into this yourself we'd be happy to review a ​pull request.

This is not a bug with RTL. The helper is absolutely positioned, so it doesn't have the same width as the original. The positioning is correct, since positioning is always based on the top left corner. See ​http://jsfiddle.net/wruxS/1/ for a simple solution with the provided test case.
