make bootstrap twitter dialog modal draggable

I'm trying to make bootstrap twitter dialog modal draggable with this jquery plugin:

http://threedubmedia.com/code/event/drag#demos

but it doesn't work.

var $div = $('html');
console.debug($('.drag'));
$('#modalTest')
    .drag("start", function(ev, dd) {
        dd.limit = $div.offset();
        dd.limit.bottom = dd.limit.top + $div.outerHeight() - $(this).outerHeight();
        dd.limit.right = dd.limit.left + $div.outerWidth() - $(this).outerWidth();
    })
    .drag(function(ev, dd) {
        $(this).css({
            top: Math.min(dd.limit.bottom, Math.max(dd.limit.top, dd.offsetY))
            , left: Math.min(dd.limit.right, Math.max(dd.limit.left, dd.offsetX))
        });
    }); 

Have you idea how can I do it?


Solution 1:

$("#myModal").draggable({
    handle: ".modal-header"
}); 

it works for me. I got it from there. if you give me thanks please give 70% to Andres Ilich

Solution 2:

You can use the code below if you dont want to use jQuery UI or any third party pluggin. It's only plain jQuery.

This answer works well with Bootstrap v3.x . For version 4.x see @User comment below

$(".modal").modal("show");

$(".modal-header").on("mousedown", function(mousedownEvt) {
    var $draggable = $(this);
    var x = mousedownEvt.pageX - $draggable.offset().left,
        y = mousedownEvt.pageY - $draggable.offset().top;
    $("body").on("mousemove.draggable", function(mousemoveEvt) {
        $draggable.closest(".modal-dialog").offset({
            "left": mousemoveEvt.pageX - x,
            "top": mousemoveEvt.pageY - y
        });
    });
    $("body").one("mouseup", function() {
        $("body").off("mousemove.draggable");
    });
    $draggable.closest(".modal").one("bs.modal.hide", function() {
        $("body").off("mousemove.draggable");
    });
});
.modal-header {
    cursor: move;
}

    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span></button>
        <h4 class="modal-title">Modal title</h4>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-body">
        <p>One fine body&hellip;</p>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-footer">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
      </div>
    </div><!-- /.modal-content -->
  </div><!-- /.modal-dialog -->
</div>

Solution 3:

The top-ranked solution (by Mizbah Ahsan) is not quite right ...but is close. If you apply draggable() to the modal dialog element, the browser window scroll bars will drag around the screen as you drag the modal dialog. The way to fix that is to apply draggable() to the modal-dialog class instead:

$(".modal-dialog").draggable({
    handle: ".modal-header"
});

Thanks!
