How to prevent draggable on a div element?

Question

1.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

In my program, a div (called 'my_div' here element is draggable:

JavaScript

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

In this div, there is a table w/ a vertical scrollbar. When I click on the scrollbar of the table, the whole 'my_div' becomes draggable. How can I disable the daggable on the table? I tried this piece of code below but it does not work (see the error message below:

Java

<div id='tbl_RecList' class='styleTable3' >
</div>
...
function preventDraggable(e) {
   e.preventDefault();    // error: Object doesn't support property or method 'preventDefault'
}

What code should be used in the function preventDraggable()? Thanks if you can help.

What I have tried:

Tried preventDefault() but not successful

Tried 2 ways:
1) <div id='tbl_RecList' class='styleTable3' >
2) function preventDraggable(e) {
var v = document.getElementById('creatPDF_div');
v.draggable = false;
}
But when I click the scrollbar, the whole div is still draggable with my mouse move. Could you provide additional advisory? Thanks.

Hi,

I am not sure, whether my piece of code will work for you or not, but can you please try once with the below code :

$("#my_div").not("#table_id").draggable();

Please let me know if this won't work for you. I can think of some other solution.
