position:absolute, position:relative

[ericgjackson]

Hey, thanks for sharing this. It was exactly what I needed. I'm a bit of a front end newbie, but I wanted to mention a couple of issues I ran into.

Initially I wasn't setting the position property in the CSS of my draggable so setting top and left inside the touchmove event handling was doing nothing.

It looks like the jQueryUI draggable code sets "position:relative" for you if the position property is unset.

Also, it appears your code assumes "position:absolute". I ended up modifying your code to work with "position:relative" because I wanted to be consistent with jQueryUI and because my draggable was inside a flexbox and flexbox children cannot have "position:absolute" from what I've read.
