Make Div Draggable using CSS

Question

I want to make my div tag with id \"drag_me\" to be draggable up to the length of 300px from left and 460px from top, only using CSS.

I also want to make it resizabl

Answer 1

After going down the rabbit-hole of trying to do this myself by copy-pasting various code-snippets from Stack Overflow, I would highly recommend just using the InteractJS library, which allows you to create a draggable and resizable div (somewhat) easily.

Answer 2

This is the best you can do without JavaScript:

[draggable=true] {
  cursor: move;
}

.resizable {
  overflow: scroll;
  resize: both;
  max-width: 300px;
  max-height: 460px;
  border: 1px solid black;
  min-width: 50px;
  min-height: 50px;
  background-color: skyblue;
}

<div draggable="true" class="resizable"></div>

Demo

• draggable attribute on HTML5 Rocks
• CSS resize property on MDN

Answer 3

You can take a look at HTML 5, but I don't think you can restrict the area within you can drag it, just the destination:

And if you don't mind using some great library, I would encourage you to try Dragula.
