drop it, respectively.</p><div class="impl">
<p>However it is implemented, drag-and-drop operations must have a
starting point (e.g. where the mouse was clicked, or the start of
the selection or element that was selected for the drag), may have
any number of intermediate steps (elements that the mouse moves over
during a drag, or elements that the user picks as possible drop
points as he cycles through possibilities), and must either have an
end point (the element above which the mouse button was released, or
the element that was finally selected), or be canceled. The end
point must be the last element selected as a possible drop point
before the drop occurs (so if the operation is not canceled, there
must be at least one element in the middle step).</p>
</div><h4 id="introduction-7"><span class="secno">7.7.1 </span>Introduction</h4><p><i>This section is non-normative.</i></p><p>To make an element draggable is simple: give the element a <code title="attr-draggable"><a href="#the-draggable-attribute">draggable</a></code> attribute, and set an event
listener for <code title="event-dragstart"><a href="#event-dragstart">dragstart</a></code> that
stores the data being dragged.</p><p>The event handler typically needs to check that it's not a text
selection that is being dragged, and then needs to store data into
the <code><a href="#datatransfer">DataTransfer</a></code> object and set the allowed effects
(copy, move, link, or some combination).</p><p>For example:</p><pre>&lt;p&gt;What fruits do you like?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol ondragstart="dragStartHandler(event)"&gt;
&lt;li draggable="true" data-value="fruit-apple"&gt;Apples&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li draggable="true" data-value="fruit-orange"&gt;Oranges&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li draggable="true" data-value="fruit-pear"&gt;Pears&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;script&gt;
var internalDNDType = 'text/x-example'; // set this to something specific to your site
function dragStartHandler(event) {
if (event.target instanceof HTMLLIElement) {
// use the element's data-value="" attribute as the value to be moving:
event.dataTransfer.setData(internalDNDType, event.target.dataset.value);
event.dataTransfer.effectAllowed = 'move'; // only allow moves
} else {
event.preventDefault(); // don't allow selection to be dragged
}
}
&lt;/script&gt;</pre><hr><p>To accept a drop, the drop target has to have a <code title="attr-dropzone"><a href="#the-dropzone-attribute">dropzone</a></code> attribute and listen to the
<code title="drop-event">drop</code> event.</p><p>The value of the <code title="attr-dropzone"><a href="#the-dropzone-attribute">dropzone</a></code>
attribute specifies what kind of data to accept (e.g. "<code title="">s:text/plain</code>" to accept any text strings, or
"<code>f:image/png</code>" to accept a PNG image file) and what kind
of feedback to give (e.g. "<code>move</code>" to indicate that the
data will be moved).</p><p class="note">Instead of using the <code title="attr-dropzone"><a href="#the-dropzone-attribute">dropzone</a></code> attribute, a drop target can
handle the <code title="event-dragenter"><a href="#event-dragenter">dragenter</a></code> event (to
report whether or not the drop target is to accept the drop) and the
<code title="event-dragover"><a href="#event-dragover">dragover</a></code> event (to specify what
feedback is to be shown to the user).</p><p>The <code title="event-drop"><a href="#event-drop">drop</a></code> event allows the actual
drop to be performed. This event needs to be canceled, so that the
<code title="dom-DataTransfer-DropEffect"><a href="#dom-datatransfer-dropeffect">dropEffect</a></code>
attribute's value can be used by the source (otherwise it's
reset).</p><p>For example:</p><pre>&lt;p&gt;Drop your favorite fruits below:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol dropzone="move s:text/x-example" ondrop="dropHandler(event)"&gt;
&lt;-- don't forget to change the "text/x-example" type to something
specific to your site --&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;script&gt;
var internalDNDType = 'text/x-example'; // set this to something specific to your site
function dropHandler(event) {
var li = document.createElement('li');
var data = event.dataTransfer.getData(internalDNDType);
if (data == 'fruit-apple') {
li.textContent = 'Apples';
} else if (data == 'fruit-orange') {
li.textContent = 'Oranges';
} else if (data == 'fruit-pear') {
li.textContent = 'Pears';
} else {
li.textContent = 'Unknown Fruit';
}
event.target.appendChild(li);
}
&lt;/script&gt;</pre><hr><p>To remove the original element (the one that was dragged) from
the display, the <code title="event-dragend"><a href="#event-dragend">dragend</a></code> event
can be used.</p><p>For our example here, that means updating the original markup to
handle that event:</p><pre>&lt;p&gt;What fruits do you like?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol ondragstart="dragStartHandler(event)" ondragend="dragEndHandler(event)"&gt;

<p>When the user attempts to begin a drag operation, the user agent
must run the following steps. User agents must act as if these steps
were run even if the drag actually started in another document or
application and the user agent was not aware that the drag was
occuring until it intersected with a document under the user agent's
purview.</p>
<ol><li>
<p>Determine what is being dragged, as follows:</p>
<p>If the drag operation was invoked on a selection, then it is
the selection that is being dragged.</p>
<p>Otherwise, if the drag operation was invoked on a
<code><a href="infrastructure.html#document">Document</a></code>, it is the first element, going up the
ancestor chain, starting at the node that the user tried to drag,
that has the IDL attribute <code title="dom-draggable"><a href="#dom-draggable">draggable</a></code> set to true. If there is no
such element, then nothing is being dragged; abort these steps,
the drag-and-drop operation is never started.</p>
<p>Otherwise, the drag operation was invoked outside the user
agent's purview. What is being dragged is defined by the document
or application where the drag was started.</p>

<p>Establish which DOM node is the <dfn id="source-node">source node</dfn>, as
follows:</p>
<p>If it is a selection that is being dragged, then the
<a href="#source-node">source node</a> is the text node that the user started
the drag on (typically the text node that the user originally
clicked). If the user did not specify a particular node, for
example if the user just told the user agent to begin a drag of
"the selection", then the <a href="#source-node">source node</a> is the first
text node containing a part of the selection.</p>
<p>Otherwise, if it is an element that is being dragged, then the
<a href="#source-node">source node</a> is the element that is being dragged.</p>
<p>Otherwise, the <a href="#source-node">source node</a> is part of another
document or application. When this specification requires that an
event be dispatched at the <a href="#source-node">source node</a> in this case,
the user agent must instead follow the platform-specific

the drag-and-drop operation has ended.</p>
<p>During the drag operation, the element directly indicated by the

listeners in the document, as described below.</p>
<p>Both the <a href="#current-target-element">current target element</a> and the

target element is selected. They can also both be elements in other

example, a user could drag text to a word-processor.) The

<p>User agents must not make the data added to the

until the <code title="event-drop"><a href="#event-drop">drop</a></code> event, because
otherwise, if a user were to drag sensitive information from one

the process, the hostile document could intercept the data.</p>
<p>For the same reason, user agents must consider a drop to be
successful only if the user specifically ended the drag operation
&#8212; if any scripts end the drag operation, it must be considered
unsuccessful (canceled) and the <code title="event-drop"><a href="#event-drop">drop</a></code>

<p>User agents should take care to not start drag-and-drop
operations in response to script actions. For example, in a
mouse-and-window environment, if a script moves a window while the
user has his mouse button depressed, the UA would not consider that
to start a drag. This is important because otherwise UAs could cause
data to be dragged from sensitive sources and dropped into hostile
documents without the user's consent.</p>
