Draggable on absolute elements (jQuery.ui 1.10.3) - Bug + fix

[piratax]

Line 1584: this.offsetParent = this.helper.offsetParent();

At start drag if the element is absolute and the page scroll is not 0 (both left and/or top), the element is pushed away for n pixel as the scroll size. This is due to the fact that $.fn.offsetParent() might return the HTML document as ancestor parent. By stopping the DOM trasversing when parent is document.body the issue disappears.

ie.

this.offsetParent = this.helper.offsetParent(); if(this.offsetParent[0].tagName.toLowerCase() == 'html'){ this.offsetParent = $(document.body); };

Hi piratax,
