In previous tips I introduced a basic HTML Drag and Drop API example along with some things you can do with the dataTransfer() object. This tip will focus on the different events you can listen for during a drag operation.

There are 7 drag events that are supported across all modern browsers. They are:

• dragstart - A dragging operation begins (on dragged item)
• drag - A drag operation is in process (on dragged item)
• dragenter - A dragged item enters a valid drop target (on drop target)
• dragover - A valid drop target is dragged over (on drop target)
• dragleave - A dragged item leaves a valid drop target (on drop target)
• drop - A dragged item is dropped on a valid drop target (on drop target)
• dragend - A drag operation ends (on dragged item)

Now on to this week's tools!

Before I Go...

If you're a big Seinfeld fan like I am, you'll love this: Seinfeld Adventure. Right now it's just a pitch for a game. I seriously doubt Jerry and his producers will approve this, but it's pretty cool to see what it would be like to play "a game about nothing".
