<p>This example uses the HTML DOM to assign "ondragstart", "ondragend", "ondragover" and "ondrop" events to the document object.</p>

<p>Drag the p element back and forth between the two rectangles:</p>

<p style="clear:both;"><strong>Note:</strong> drag events are not supported in Internet Explorer 8 and earlier versions or Safari 5.1 and earlier versions.</p>

document.ondragend = function(event) {
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = "Finished dragging the p element.";
};

/* Events fired on the drop target */
document.ondragover = function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
};

document.ondrop = function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    if ( event.target.className == "droptarget" ) {
        var data = event.dataTransfer.getData("Text");
        event.target.appendChild(document.getElementById(data));
    }
};
