What happens when you drop an element in drag and drop?


Asked by Persephone Cummings on Dec 02, 2021 FAQ



In case you drop the element on the target, the drop event fires instead of the dragleave event. The target ( e.target) of the dragenter, dragover, dragleave, and drop events are the drop target elements.
Besides,
Via JavaScript event listeners you can decide what happens when the user drags and drops elements. During drag and drop HTML elements can take on two roles: Drop target / drop zone. The draggable element is the element which the user should be able to drag around the HTML page and drop somewhere, for some action to occur.
In addition, The drop event is fired on the element where the drop was occurred at the end of the drag operation. A listener would be responsible for retrieving the data being dragged and inserting it at the drop location.
Subsequently,
The dragenter event is fired when the user drags the draggable onto the drop target. This event only fires when the draggable element changes from being outside to being over, which is typically determined by the position of the mouse cursor.
And,
A common gesture we use all the time and take for granted is the ability to drag an element around on screen. Despite how common this drag gesture is, there is no good built-in support for making an element draggable on the web. This is doubly-so if we wish to go beyond the mouse and support things like touch!
