Example

This example shows when and where each event fires during a drag-and-drop operation by listing each event and the name of the object firing it in a list box.

<HEAD>
<SCRIPT>
// Code for dynamically adding options to a select.
function ShowResults()
{				// Information about the events 
				 // and what object fired them.
  arg = event.type + "  fired by  " + event.srcElement.id;  
  var oNewOption = new Option(); 
  oNewOption.text = arg;
  oResults.add(oNewOption,0);
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P>Source events are wired up to this text box.</P>
<INPUT ID=txtDragOrigin VALUE="Text to Drag"
    ondragstart="ShowResults()"
    ondrag="ShowResults()"
    ondragend="ShowResults()"
>
<P>Target events are bound to this text box.</P>
<INPUT ID=txtDragDestination VALUE="Drag Destination"
    ondragenter="ShowResults()"
    ondragover="ShowResults()"
    ondragleave="ShowResults()"
    ondrop="ShowResults()"
>
<SELECT ID=oResults SIZE=30>
  <OPTION>List of Events Fired
