Basic Drag and Drop

The YUI Drag and Drop Utility lets you make HTML elements draggable.

For this example, we will enable drag and drop for the three <div> elements.

Create the demo elements:

<div id="dd-demo-1" class="dd-demo"></div>
<div id="dd-demo-2" class="dd-demo"></div>
<div id="dd-demo-3" class="dd-demo"></div>

<div id="dd-demo-1" class="dd-demo"></div>
<div id="dd-demo-2" class="dd-demo"></div>
<div id="dd-demo-3" class="dd-demo"></div>

Now we create the instances of YAHOO.util.DD, passing the element ids or references for our demo elements.

(function() {
    var dd, dd2, dd3;
    YAHOO.util.Event.onDOMReady(function() {
        dd = new YAHOO.util.DD("dd-demo-1");
        dd2 = new YAHOO.util.DD("dd-demo-2");
        dd3 = new YAHOO.util.DD("dd-demo-3");
    });
})();

(function() {
    var dd, dd2, dd3;
    YAHOO.util.Event.onDOMReady(function() {
        dd = new YAHOO.util.DD("dd-demo-1");
        dd2 = new YAHOO.util.DD("dd-demo-2");
        dd3 = new YAHOO.util.DD("dd-demo-3");
    });
})();
