I’m very new to JQuery and I’m trying to create a sample page using the Draggable plugin. The page loads fine, but I’m not able to drag my <div> tag anywhere. I’ve been trying to copy this demo. Here is my code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
    <head runat="server">
        <title></title>
         <style type="text/css">
                #draggable { width: 150px; height: 150px; padding: 0.5em;  border: solid 1px black; cursor:pointer;}
         </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <form id="form1" runat="server">
        <div>


            <script src="scripts/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"/>
            <script src="scripts/jquery.ui.core.js" type="text/javascript"/>
            <script src="scripts/jquery.ui.draggable.js" type="text/javascript"/>
            <script src="scripts/jquery.ui.mouse.js" type="text/javascript"/>
            <script src="scripts/jquery.ui.widget.js" type="text/javascript"/>
            <script src="scripts/jquery-ui-1.8.13.custom.js" type="text/javascript" />

            <script type="text/javascript">
                $(document).ready(function() {
                    $("#draggable").draggable();
                });
            </script>


            <div class="demo" style="height: 500px; width: 500px;">
                <div id="draggable">
                    <p>Drag me around</p>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
        </form>
    </body>
    </html>

I’m just trying to make it so I can drag my “draggable” <div> around in the “demo” <div> around it. Can anyone see what I’m missing?

    Have you included the jQuery UI script on your page? Here is CDN link to the latest versions.

    I use the Html5Boilerplate best practice of:

        </form>

    <!-- Javascript at the bottom for fast page loading -->

    <!-- Grab Google CDN's jQuery, with a protocol relative URL; fall back to local if necessary -->
    <script src="//ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.6.1.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript"> window.jQuery || document.write('<script src="js/libs/jquery-1.6.1.js">\x3C/script>')</script>

    <!-- Grab Google CDN's jQuery UI, with a protocol relative URL; fall back to local if necessary -->
    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.12/jquery-ui.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript"> $.ui || document.write('<script src="js/libs/jquery-ui-1.8.12.custom.min.js">\x3C/script>')</script>

    <!-- Scripts concatenated -->
    <script src="js/plugins.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="js/script.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <!-- End scripts -->

</body>
