DragEvent

The DragEvent interface is a DOM event that represents a drag and drop interaction. The user initiates a drag by placing a pointer device (such as a mouse) on the touch surface and then dragging the pointer to a new location (such as another DOM element). Applications are free to interpret a drag and drop interaction in an application-specific way.

This interface inherits properties from MouseEvent and Event.

DragEvent.dataTransfer (en-US) Read only

The data that is transferred during a drag and drop interaction.

Although this interface has a constructor, it is not possible to create a useful DataTransfer object from script, since DataTransfer objects have a processing and security model that is coordinated by the browser during drag-and-drops.

DragEvent() (en-US)

Creates a synthetic and untrusted DragEvent.

drag (en-US)

This event is fired when an element or text selection is being dragged.

dragend (en-US)

This event is fired when a drag operation is being ended (by releasing a mouse button or hitting the escape key).

dragenter (en-US)

This event is fired when a dragged element or text selection enters a valid drop target.

dragexit

This event is fired when an element is no longer the drag operation's immediate selection target.

dragleave (en-US)

This event is fired when a dragged element or text selection leaves a valid drop target.

dragover (en-US)

This event is fired continuously when an element or text selection is being dragged and the mouse pointer is over a valid drop target (every 50 ms WHEN mouse is not moving ELSE much faster between 5 ms (slow movement) and 1ms (fast movement) approximately. This firing pattern is different than mouseover (en-US) ).

dragstart (en-US)

This event is fired when the user starts dragging an element or text selection.

drop (en-US)

This event is fired when an element or text selection is dropped on a valid drop target.
