HTML event attribute ondrag
The ondrag attribute event is triggered
when dragging an element or text selection.
To make an element draggable, mark that element
with the global HTML5 draggable attribute.
Links and images are draggable by default.
Events fired on the draggable source element:
- ondragstart - starting dragging
- ondrag - during the dragging
- ondragend - finish dragging
Events fired on the drop target:
- ondragenter - when the dragged element enters the droppable target
- ondragover - when the dragged element is over the droppable target
- ondragleave - when the dragged element leaves the droppable target
- ondrop - when the dragged element is dropped on the droppable target
