How to move parent div when child div touches parent div boundaries

I have three div's in the following code.
<div id="wrap">
<div id="outer">
<div id="inner">
</div>
</div>
</div>
Here "inner" div is moving with mouseMove event. How can I move "outer" div along with "inner" div when "inner" div touches the top and left of "outer" div but "outer" div should not move when "inner" div inside or don't touch "outer" div?
var innerDiv = $('#inner');
var outerDiv = $('#outer');
var outDim = outerDiv.offset();
outDim.right = (outDim.left + outerDiv.width());
outDim.bottom = (outDim.top + outerDiv.height());
$(document).on('mousemove', function(e) {
var x = (e.clientX) - 15;
var y = (e.clientY) - 15;
var x_allowed = x >= outDim.left && x <= (outDim.right - innerDiv.width());
var y_allowed = y >= outDim.top && y <= (outDim.bottom - innerDiv.height());
if (y_allowed) {
innerDiv.css({
top: y + 'px',
});
} else {
//fine tune tweaks
if (y >= outDim.top) {
innerDiv.css({
top: (outDim.bottom - innerDiv.height()) + 'px',
});
}
if (y <= (outDim.bottom - innerDiv.height())) {
innerDiv.css({
top: outDim.top + 'px',
});
}
}
if (x_allowed) {
innerDiv.css({
left: x + 'px'
});
} else {
//fine tune tweaks
if (x >= outDim.left) {
innerDiv.css({
left: outDim.right - innerDiv.width() + 'px',
});
}
if (x <= (outDim.right - innerDiv.width())) {
innerDiv.css({
left: outDim.left + 'px',
});
}
}
});

Need the image to be in the same position in both divs

I need the image in the both divs below to be in the same position even if the other div changes height or width. I have tried calculating top and left to % from px but still it is not working. I have also tried calculating the % of how big or small other div is and adding or removing the top and left to the image in other div and still no luck.
To check the issue, drag the image around inside the first div and click on submit. Now the image inside the bottom div should be in the same position as the above div, same top and left distance.
Please help. Thanks.

For your newimg, the parent must have a position that is relative. This way, the absolute positioning will be relative to the parent and not the body.
An element with position: absolute; is positioned relative to the nearest positioned ancestor (instead of positioned relative to the viewport, like fixed).
Consider the following code.
$(function() {
var zoomLevel = parseFloat(1 - ($("#dragDiv").outerWidth() / $("#bigimg").outerWidth()).toFixed(2));
function log(str) {
if ($(".log").length) {
$(".log").html(str);
} else {
$("<div>", {
class: "log"
}).html(str).appendTo("body");
}
}
function getPos(el) {
var par = $(el).parent();
var pos = {
top: parseInt($(el).css("top")),
left: parseInt($(el).css("left")),
zoom: "scale(" + (1 + zoomLevel) + ")",
parWidth: par.outerWidth(),
parHeight: par.outerHeight()
};
pos['perLeft'] = parseFloat((pos.left / pos.parWidth).toFixed(2)) * 100;
pos['perTop'] = parseFloat((pos.top / pos.parHeight).toFixed(2)) * 100;
return pos;
}
$("#myimage").draggable({
containment: "parent",
drag: function(e, ui) {
log("Left: " + ui.position.left + ", Top: " + ui.position.top);
},
start: function() {
// coordinates('#myimage');
},
stop: function() {
// coordinates('#myimage');
var p = getPos(this);
$(this).attr("title", JSON.stringify(p));
}
});
$('#save').click(function() {
var result = getPos($("#myimage"));
var output = JSON.stringify(result);
var nLeft = Math.round(result.perLeft * (1 + zoomLevel)) + "%";
var nTop = Math.round(result.perTop * (1 + zoomLevel)) + "%"
console.log(output, nLeft, nTop);
$("#newimg").css({
left: nLeft,
top: nTop
});
var p = getPos($("#newimg"));
$("#newimg").attr("title", JSON.stringify(p));
});
});

Looking at it further, I am guessing that you might be trying to reposition the bigimg in relationship to myimage position. This requires scaling the percentage.
For example, if we move myimage to the far left, it will be at left: 247, and this is roughly 49% of 499px. 49% of 653 is around 319, and this would not place the image where we want it. We want it at 401.
bigimg is about 24% larger than dragDiv, so we need to scale our percentage. 49 * 1.24 = 60.74, round up to 61. 653 * .61 = 398.33 so better yet not perfect.

JavaScript moving text animation doesn't work. FULL CODE

JS: My problem is in running the following JS script, it's supposed to be very easy ,i think, but i can't understand why won't it run. I've just started coding and i'm already stuck in this problem. I want the text to go up (by increasing the bottom in CSS) for 5px until it reaches pos=6 ; then clearInterval should do its job.
CSS: I've put the position of div's to RELATIVE as i've read in some tutorials but didn't put the " container's " position to ABSOLUTE, may it be the problem?

ez.onmouseover = alza();
var intervallo = setInterval(alza, 100);
function alza() {

clearInterval(intervallo);
} else {

First thing is , why declaring you are using event on an array of dome node (result of querySelectorAll will return array of domenodes ) so in order to attach mouseover and also apply some style you have to loop around those nodes .
Seconde thing while declaring set interval, its usless to use mousemovehere ?
Also the condition if is wrong you're using assignment , so you have to use == or === in order to make comaparison .
See below snippet :
var ez = document.querySelectorAll(".sumba , .ap , .te , .do, .big");
var pos = 0;
var intervallo = setInterval(alza, 100);
ez.forEach(function(el){
el.addEventListener("mouseover", alza);
})
function alza() {
if (pos == 25) {
clearInterval(intervallo);
} else {
ez.forEach(function(el){
el.style.bottom = pos + "px";
});
pos++;
}
}
.sumba, .ap {
position:absolute;
}
.ap {
color:red;
left:40px
}

Developing image slider using jQuery and javascript

if(offset == 0)
offset = imageArr.length-1;
else
offset = offset-1;
prevImage = imageArr[offset];
}
function getNextImage() {
if(offset == imageArr.length-1)
offset = 0;
else
offset = offset+1;
nextImage = imageArr[offset];
}
$("document").ready(function(){
$(".prev").click(function(){
$(function(){
getCurrentImage();
});
$(function(){
getPrevImage();
});
$(currentImage).css({right:0px});
$(prevImage).css({left:0px});
$(currentImage).animate({width:'80%',width:'60%',width:'40%',width:'20%',width:'0'});

You have syntax errors
in $().css({right: 0px}); should by $().css({right: '0px'});
Getting html elements also must be after $("document").ready, because your html elements do not exist before.
It works for me:
$("document").ready(function(){
var imageArr = document.getElementsByClassName('slide');
var offset = imageArr.length-1;
var currentImage, prevImage, nextImage;
function getCurrentImage() {
currentImage = imageArr[offset];
}
function getPrevImage() {
if(offset == 0)
offset = imageArr.length-1;
else
offset = offset-1;
prevImage = imageArr[offset];
}
function getNextImage() {
if(offset == imageArr.length-1)
offset = 0;
else
offset = offset+1;
nextImage = imageArr[offset];
}
$(".prev").click(function(){
$(function(){
getCurrentImage();
});
$(function(){
getPrevImage();
});
$(currentImage).css({right: '0px'});
$(prevImage).css({left: '0px'});
$(currentImage).animate({width:'80%',width:'60%',width:'40%',width:'20%',width:'0'});
$(prevImage).animate({width:'20%',width:'40%',width:'60%',width:'80%',width:'100%'});
});
$(".next").click(function(){
$(function(){
getCurrentImage();
});
$(function(){
getNextImage();
});
$(currentImage).css({right: '0px'});
$(nextImage).css({left: '0px'});
$(currentImage).animate({width:'80%',width:'60%',width:'40%',width:'20%',width:'0%'});
$(nextImage).animate({width:'20%',width:'40%',width:'60%',width:'80%',width:'100%'});
});
});

The coverflow function (included as a js file in the head section) is here. When I click the button, I was expecting it to add a DIV to the already present deck. For some reason, it doesn't show the newly added DIV. I tried calling the coverflow() function after I added the new element but that didn't work either. The modified coverflow function is given here:
;(function($){
$.widget("ui.coverflow", {
init: function() {

One thing I did notice is that after clicking the button for about 5-10 times, the elements show up but not along with the already present divs but rather below them. I am guessing that this has something to do with the CSS of the magnifyme class (2000px), but I am not sure what it is. Is there any way I can make this work?

You need to write an additional function for the coverflow widget:
add: function(el) {
var self = this;
this.element.append(el)
this.options.items = $('> *', this.element);
this.items = $(this.options.items, this.element).bind("click", function() {
self.moveTo(this);
});
this.itemWidth = this.items.outerWidth(true);
this.moveTo(this.items.length-1);
},
and then call it like so:
$("#add").click(function() {
$("div.magnifyme").coverflow('add', "<div></div>");
});

First, you need to add a references to the jQuery UI core, and it also appears that it requires the jQuery slider plugin.
Second, in your click event you're doing a location.reload, which is refreshing the page from the server, resetting any changes you had made to the page. (if you make the DIVs much smaller you can see one flash in before the page is reloaded).

You are getting a js error on the page -- "$.widget is not a function" because you didn't include the jqueryUI library. http://jqueryui.com/
Also if you remove the location.reload line, your code will work, however, I would rewrite that script block like this, so that everything clearly runs when the document is ready:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("div.magnifyme").coverflow();
$("#add").click(function() {
$(".magnifyme").append("<div id=\"div5\">hello world</div>");
$("div.magnifyme").coverflow();
});
});
</script>
