Trying to drag the left edge of the div....not working
I have created the following JavaScript function. if (g_strGrabbedBorder == "") means that you are dragging my dynamically created div around with the mouse, and this part of the function works perfectly. It is a global variable set by a mouse left button down handler. How do you both reposition and resize a div at the same time? If the left edge moves to the right then the width is being reduced…
The author is struggling with the challenge of dragging a dynamically created div both horizontally and vertically using mouse movements. They have successfully implemented the functionality to move the div with the left mouse button, but they face issues when trying to resize it simultaneously. When the left edge of the div is dragged to the right, the div's width unexpectedly increases instead of reducing.
The author attempts to change the div's left and width properties, but this results in unpredictable behavior. They find it difficult to understand why this is happening and have exhausted all ideas to solve the issue. The author is seeking guidance on how to properly handle the mouse movement to achieve the desired effect of moving and resizing the div simultaneously.
