, are available.
DragEvent.dataTransfer
Read only
The data that is transferred during a drag and drop interaction.
In this example, we have a draggable element inside a container. Try grabbing the element, dragging it, and then releasing it.
We make the element half-transparent while it is being dragged, and listen for the dragend
event to reset the element's opacity when it is released.
For a more complete example of drag and drop, see the page for the drag
event.
html
<div id="container"> <div id="draggable" draggable="true">This div is draggable</div> </div> <div class="dropzone"></div>
css
body { /* Prevent the user selecting text in the example */ user-select: none; } #draggable { text-align: center; background: white; } #container { width: 200px; height: 20px; background: blueviolet; padding: 10px; } .dragging { opacity: 0.5; }
js
const source = document.getElementById("draggable"); source.addEventListener("dragstart", (event) => { // make it half transparent event.target.classList.add("dragging"); }); source.addEventListener("dragend", (event) => { // reset the transparency event.target.classList.remove("dragging"); });
