Hi xpo_greensock@knor,

 

It will be hard to troubleshoot without having the whole context in which the code is operating. Could you setup a simple demo in CodePen or JsFiddle? Or somewhere else that we are able to see the live code?

 

Having said that, if all you want is a border around the selected element, wouldn't it be simpler to just have a border set with a transparent color and then, on selection, you toggle the color to full black?

Yeah, it's tough to troubleshoot blind but I bet you've got the move (Draggable?) altering the transforms (x/y or translate()) whereas you're basing the highlight's position on top/left which are totally different. Transforms don't affect top/left at all. The browser still reports them based on where the element is in the document flow, but transforms don't affect flow at all. Once we see a codepen demo, I'm sure it'll become clear.
