Re: [Dynapi-Help] Can a layer be display:inline and position:relative, while still draggable?

[Jack C. <jac...@ne...>]

Is it true that a layer cannot be dragged outside of its parent?
The small squares on my test page cannot be dragged outside of its
parent no matter what I do, even when not using setDragBoundary.
It can go past the parent's border, but will not be shown on top of
other layers once outside of the parent.  I have set the square's
z-index to very high already.
