Drag & Drop Web Part Y-offset Problem

January 18 2011 11 comments

I’ve come across a bug in SharePoint 2010 with my custom master page that is based on minimal.master. In the edit mode, if I try to drag and drop web parts around, the element that is used to mark the drag position has a strange offset. Upon more investigation it appears that the javascript function that positions the marker with the class ‘ms-SPZoneIBar’ ignores the scroll position of the #s4-workspace div.

Override the javascript function with your own, and everything is golden once again.

MSOLayout_GetRealOffset = function (StartingObject, OffsetType, EndParent) {
    var realValue = 0;
    if (!EndParent) EndParent = document.body;
    for (var currentObject = StartingObject;
        currentObject != EndParent &&
        currentObject != document.body &&
        currentObject != null;
        currentObject = currentObject.offsetParent) {
        realValue += eval('currentObject.offset' + OffsetType);
    }
    return (OffsetType == 'Top') ? realValue - document.getElementById('s4-workspace').scrollTop : realValue;
};

    I have the same problem in SharePoint 2007…any idea how to get this to work in that? This line causes the problem for SP 2007:

    realValue – document.getElementById(‘s4-workspace’).scrollTop

    …due to s4-workspace.

    Actually I realise it is not the position of the drag bar that is the problem, it is the position of the web part name that follows the mouse. It is aligned to the mouse when at the top of the page but scroll down a little and it looks like this is positioned from the top of the page rather than relative to the page scrolling position. Any ideas?
