How to drag and drop a component over other components (other than parsys) in CQ5?

Avatar

Level 1

I have created a button component in CQ5 without inheriting existing button component.

Now I want to place this button component over another custom Banner component by drag and drop method from sidekick. I gave the banner comp as parent for my button and in banner I gave this button in allowed children and made it as container too. also I have created design dialog for the banner component where I added this button component in allowed components option. still I am not able to drag and drop this button over the banner, its going either above or below this banner and the banner itself is inside parsys. if I include the component via jsp, its working fine. but I must do it by drag and drop.

I am new to CQ5, appreciate any help I can get. thanks in advance
