drag within scrollable div

How do I make an object that's within a DIV, whose overflow style is set
to "auto", draggable? I've had a number of goes but the ways I've tried
depend on absolutely positioning the object which means it gets dragged
"out" of the DIV.

It doesn't matter how far a user drags the object.

absolutely.

as you calculate its new position as its old position plus the difference
between the new and old cursor coordinates, while keeping the positioning
scheme (except setting "static" to "relative"). It appears that this is
also the most efficient and most compatible approach.
