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.
