lynda.com tutorial | HTML5: Drag and Drop in Depth—Understanding drag and drop

Watch the entire course at www.lynda.com In HTML5: Drag and Drop in Depth, Bill Weinman shows how to make just about any web page element draggable with a combination of JavaScript and HTML5, a technique that has increased browser support and that eliminates the need for external libraries such as jQuery. The course covers how to detect drag-and-drop support in the user’s browser, code a simple event listener, use a drop zone, and even receive dropped objects without a drop zone. A simple working example game, a practical implementation of drag-and-drop that can be applied to almost any web site, is also demonstrated.
