Relocate the resizable handles in jQuery outside of the div elements

I currently have 3 nested divs.

Using jQuery

    $(function() {
        $("#div1").resizable({
            handles: "n, e, s, w, nw, ne, sw,se"
        });
        $("#div1").draggable();
    });

Within the HTML structure

<div id="div1" style="left: 2px; top: 2px; z-index: 2; width: 100px; height: 70px; background-color: black">
    <div id="div2" style="width: 100%; height: 100%; background-color: green; position: absolute;">
        <div id="div3" style="width: 90px; height: 60px; position: relative; top: 50%; margin: -30px auto auto; border: 1px dashed rgb(0, 0, 0);">
            text
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

CSS Styling

.ui-resizable-handle { width: 10px; height: 10px; background-color: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #000000; }
.ui-resizable-n { top: 1px; left: 50%; }
.ui-resizable-e { right: 1px; top: 50%; }
.ui-resizable-s { bottom: 1px; left: 50%; }
.ui-resizable-w { left: 1px; top: 50%; }
.ui-resizable-nw { left: 1px; top: 1px; }
.ui-resizable-ne { top: 1px; right: 1px; }
.ui-resizable-sw { bottom: 1px; left: 1px; }

As you can observe, div1 is currently set to be resizable, draggable, and has a fixed width and height. Div2 occupies the entire space of its parent with absolute positioning. Div3 is centered both horizontally and vertically based on specified parameters.

I have provided a screenshot depicting my desired outcome. I want the white handles to be positioned outside the boundaries of the div as shown in the screenshot. Additionally, the second div must maintain its position with absolute positioning. The jsfiddle link contains the current implementation that needs modifications.

Your assistance in moving the handles outside of the div will be greatly appreciated.

Answer №1

Your query seems unclear to me.

However, you can find an example in the form of a Fiddle.

Modifications were made solely to your css file.

Answer №2

To achieve the desired outcome, it is necessary to adjust the handles in the css as mentioned before. I have taken the liberty of making some improvements for better clarity. Check out the updated version here.

.ui-resizable-handle {
    width: 10px;
    height: 10px;
    background-color: #ffffff;
    border: 1px solid #000000;
}
.ui-resizable-n, .ui-resizable-s {
    left:50%;
}
.ui-resizable-e, .ui-resizable-w {
    top:50%;    
}

.ui-resizable-se {
    right: -5px;
    bottom: -5px;
}
