IE6: sortable on a panel within a div with overflow:auto
Hi there,
I have one div of fixed width with an "overflow:auto" style applied.
This div acts as a viewport and is meant to scroll horizontally only.
In this div, I have several nested div containers and in one these, I
need to be able to sort items. I thought I could use UI sortable BUT I
hit the following problem:
1) UI sortable sets a "position:relative" css attribute to the
sortable container
2) IE6 and 7 have a bug that causes the display of an element with
"position:relative" within a container with "overflow:auto" to break
(see http://mt-olympus.com/emmett/bug_overflow_positionrelative.php
for reference)
Does anyone have a workaround for this?
Is it possible to build a sortable implementation that does not
require the "position:relative" attribute to be added?
I would appreciate any insight or workaround.
Thanks in advance!
Tim.
