Draggable stops in IE when scroll/resize listners attached
I'm using jquery-ui 1.8.1 with jquery 1.4.2 to replace bespoke js code developed to run with Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and IE8 (forget all the other IE's). The application conditionally needs to set window scroll and window resize listeners. When they are not set, a draggable div responds normally under all browsers. But once either is set, the draggable stops being movable in IE (all the rest work fine, naturally).
Some F12 tracing shows that turning on scroll or resize in IE causes a flood of events to the listners (IE only) which is what I think is killing the draggable capability. Adding helper:'clone' etc as mentioned in another topic gives me a draggable clone, but the original stays in position and the clone evaporates when the button is released (all browsers).
I need the resize/scroll listeners to move the draggable div and other absolutely positioned divs back onto the viewable window following a scroll or resize.
Some way of making the draggable div location relative to the view window rather than the document might do the trick, but I doubt it.
Any help or suggestions welcome.
