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
.
Properties
-
DragEvent.dataTransfer
Read only -
The data that is transferred during a drag and drop interaction.
Constructors
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()
-
Creates a synthetic and untrusted DragEvent.
Event types
drag
-
This event is fired when an element or text selection is being dragged.
dragend
-
This event is fired when a drag operation is being ended (by releasing a mouse button or hitting the escape key).
dragenter
-
This event is fired when a dragged element or text selection enters a valid drop target.
dragleave
-
This event is fired when a dragged element or text selection leaves a valid drop target.
dragover
-
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
). dragstart
-
This event is fired when the user starts dragging an element or text selection.
drop
-
This event is fired when an element or text selection is dropped on a valid drop target.
