#5645 closed feature (fixed)

Position: Allow for arbitrary element to be containing element

Description

At the moment, the collision is only defined in relation to window. I think that any arbitrary containing element, possible limited to parent elements, should be able to be used as the container which collisions are calculated from.

This could be another option, called "within", with window as the default.

I just saw a pretty perfect use case for this while trying to help someone on #jQuery.

Lets say you have some wide content you want to position to the left/right of your hovered element, but you don't want this content to break outside of your current pages flow. If you could {within: '#contiainer', my: 'top left', at:'top right', collision:'flip'}
