1) Script Title: DOM Drag & Drop Script

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex11/domdrag

3) Describe problem: How do I amend this script to include a drop target DIV?

<html>
<head>

<style type="text/css">
.drag{
position:relative;
cursor:move;
z-index: 100;
}
</style>

<script type="text/javascript">

var dragobject={
z: 0, x: 0, y: 0, offsetx : null, offsety : null, targetobj : null, dragapproved : 0,
initialize:function(){
document.onmousedown=this.drag
document.onmouseup=function(){this.dragapproved=0}
},
drag:function(e){
var evtobj=window.event? window.event : e
this.targetobj=window.event? event.srcElement : e.target
if (this.targetobj.className=="drag"){
this.dragapproved=1
if (isNaN(parseInt(this.targetobj.style.left))){this.targetobj.style.left=0}
if (isNaN(parseInt(this.targetobj.style.top))){this.targetobj.style.top=0}
this.offsetx=parseInt(this.targetobj.style.left)
this.offsety=parseInt(this.targetobj.style.top)
this.x=evtobj.clientX
this.y=evtobj.clientY
if (evtobj.preventDefault)
evtobj.preventDefault()
document.onmousemove=dragobject.moveit
}
},
moveit:function(e){
var evtobj=window.event? window.event : e
if (this.dragapproved==1){
this.targetobj.style.left=this.offsetx+evtobj.clientX-this.x+"px"
this.targetobj.style.top=this.offsety+evtobj.clientY-this.y+"px"
return false
}
}
}

dragobject.initialize()
</script>

</head>
<body>

<div class="drag">Hello</div>

</body>
</html>
Thanks.

Thanks for replying Nile. I couldn't find any examples on DD but what I have in mind is kind of similar to what they have here:

http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/scripts/drag-drop-custom/demo-drag-drop-2.html

I'm just looking for a way to have a box where the dragged text can be dropped into. It's not necessary that it has any of the drag effects that the above example has. I'd much prefer to use the DD script because it's more versatile. Is this possible with the DD script?
