Join Bill Weinman as he 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.

Topics include:

• Exploring the HTML/Javascript/CSS/DOM relationship

• Detecting drag and drop support

• Using the HTML5 draggable and dropzone attributes and onDragStart event

• Exploring different events

• Receiving drops with or without a drop zone

• Creating a simple game
