Make Html5 Draggable Items Scroll The Page?

I'm using the HTML5 attribute draggable = 'true' on some of my divs on my webpage. I want it so that when you drag one of these items to the bottom of the page, it scrolls the page

Solution 1:

here is a code that will scroll-up or scroll-down your page while you are dragging something. Just placing your dragging object at top or bottom of the page. :)

var stop = true;
    $(".draggable").on("drag", function (e) {

        stop = true;

        if (e.originalEvent.clientY < 150) {
            stop = false;
            scroll(-1)
        }

        if (e.originalEvent.clientY > ($(window).height() - 150)) {
            stop = false;
            scroll(1)
        }

    });

    $(".draggable").on("dragend", function (e) {
         stop = true;
    });

    var scroll = function (step) {
        var scrollY = $(window).scrollTop();
        $(window).scrollTop(scrollY + step);
        if (!stop) {
            setTimeout(function () { scroll(step) }, 20);
        }
    }

Solution 2:

I have made a simple JavaScript drag and drop class. It can automatically scroll up or down the page while dragging. See this jsfiddle. Also avaliable at my github page. Dragging at a high speed is not recommended now. I need to work out that.

Code below is a part of the library.

var autoscroll = function (offset, poffset, parentNode) {
  var xb = 0;
  var yb = 0;
  if (poffset.isBody == true) {
    var scrollLeft = poffset.scrollLeft;
    var scrollTop = poffset.scrollTop;
    var scrollbarwidth = (document.documentElement.clientWidth - document.body.offsetWidth); //Allvar scrollspeed = (offset.right + xb) - (poffset.right + scrollbarwidth);
    if (scrollspeed > 0) {
      this.scrollLeft(parentNode, scrollLeft + scrollspeed);
    }
    scrollspeed = offset.left - (xb);
    if (scrollspeed < 0) {
      this.scrollLeft(parentNode, scrollLeft + scrollspeed);
    }
    scrollspeed = (offset.bottom + yb) - (poffset.bottom);
    if (scrollspeed > 0) {
      this.scrollTop(parentNode, scrollTop + scrollspeed);
    }
    scrollspeed = offset.top - (yb);
    if (scrollspeed < 0) {
      this.scrollTop(parentNode, scrollTop + scrollspeed);
    }
  } else {
    var scrollLeft = offset.scrollLeft;
    var scrollTop = offset.scrollTop;
    var scrollbarwidth = parentNode.offsetWidth - parentNode.clientWidth; //17var scrollbarheight = parentNode.offsetHeight - parentNode.clientHeight; //17var scrollspeed = (offset.right + xb) - (poffset.right - scrollbarwidth);
    if (scrollspeed > 0) {
      this.scrollLeft(parentNode, scrollLeft + scrollspeed);
    }
    scrollspeed = offset.left - (xb + poffset.left);
    if (scrollspeed < 0) {
      this.scrollLeft(parentNode, scrollLeft + scrollspeed);
    }
    scrollspeed = (offset.bottom + scrollbarheight + yb) - (poffset.bottom);
    if (scrollspeed > 0) {
      this.scrollTop(parentNode, scrollTop + scrollspeed);
    }
    scrollspeed = offset.top - (yb + poffset.top);
    if (scrollspeed < 0) {
      this.scrollTop(parentNode, scrollTop + scrollspeed);
    }
  }
};

If you want to use dragable you should know that it is now HTML 5 feature, its jQuery, so check it out here http://jqueryui.com/draggable/..

Used like this

$( "#draggable" ).draggable();
