Drag and drop feature in javascript

Question

Could you help me please?

I would like to know how to support my website by adding a drag and drop feature using JavaScript. If anyone has useful references or examples; because I am totally blind in this area.

Thank you :)

The things that I have to do drag and drop could be a div or predifined object.

If you are talking about file uploads with drag and drop I recommend using my library:

http://www.dropzonejs.com

It also supports image previews of dropped files and has a fallback for older browsers.

Here is the simple code for dragging a/many files from your desktop to a web page and uploading on drop of the file.

Please note that it includes HTML5 options and so IE9 and lower doesn't support this.

$(document).ready(function() {
    var dropbox = document.getElementById("dropbox")

    // init event handlers
    dropbox.addEventListener("dragenter", dragEnter, false);
    dropbox.addEventListener("dragexit", dragExit, false);
    dropbox.addEventListener("dragover", dragOver, false);
    dropbox.addEventListener("drop", drop, false);

    // init the widgets
    $("#progressbar").progressbar();
});

function dragEnter(evt) {
    evt.stopPropagation();
    evt.preventDefault();
}

function dragExit(evt) {
    evt.stopPropagation();
    evt.preventDefault();
}

function dragOver(evt) {
    evt.stopPropagation();
    evt.preventDefault();
}

function drop(evt) {
    evt.stopPropagation();
    evt.preventDefault();

    var files = evt.dataTransfer.files;
    var count = files.length;

    // Only call the handler if 1 or more files was dropped.
    if (count > 0)
        handleFiles(files);
}


function handleFiles(files) {
    var file = files[0];
    document.getElementById("droplabel").innerHTML = "Processing " + file.name;




    //  var sampleText = document.getElementById("sampleText").value;

     // var sampleFile = document.getElementById("sampleFile").files[0];

      var formdata = new FormData();

      formdata.append("sampleText", "ppppppp");

      formdata.append("sampleFile", file);

      var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();       

      xhr.open("POST","/EHF/dataentry?", true);

      xhr.send(formdata);

      xhr.onload = function(e) {

          if (this.status == 200) {

             alert(this.responseText);

          }

      };   



    var reader = new FileReader();

    // init the reader event handlers
    reader.onprogress = handleReaderProgress;
    reader.onloadend = handleReaderLoadEnd;

    // begin the read operation
    reader.readAsDataURL(file);
}

function handleReaderProgress(evt) {
    if (evt.lengthComputable) {
        var loaded = (evt.loaded / evt.total);

        $("#progressbar").progressbar({ value: loaded * 100 });
    }
}

function handleReaderLoadEnd(evt) {
    $("#progressbar").progressbar({ value: 100 });

    var img = document.getElementById("preview");
    img.src = evt.target.result;
}

Here are a few simple tutorials on how to implement drag-and-drop using just javascript:

The following utilize jQuery plugins, which might be a bit easier to implement if you are interested in using them :

Simplest usage of the drag and Drop API with multiples elements.

This will attach the events to all elements with a class movable and receiver, and should works on all kind of devices.

Notice the attribute draggable set dynamically on elements with the class movable.

document.querySelectorAll(".movable").forEach(function(e){
  e.setAttribute("draggable", true)
  e.addEventListener("dragstart" , moveFUNC , false)
})

document.querySelectorAll(".receiver").forEach(function(e){
  e.addEventListener("drop" , dropFUNC , false)
  e.addEventListener("dragover" , dragFUNC , false)
})

function moveFUNC(e){
 e.dataTransfer.setData("text/plain", e.target.outerHTML)
}

function dragFUNC(e){
 e.preventDefault()
 e.dataTransfer.dropEffect = "move"
}

function dropFUNC(e){
 e.preventDefault()
 e.target.innerHTML += e.dataTransfer.getData("text/plain")
}

.receiver {
 border: 1px black solid;
 height:10vh;
 width:14%;
 display:inline-block
}

.movable {
 border: 1px black solid;
 width:12%
}

<div class="movable">Movable</div>
<div class="movable">Movable</div>
<div class="movable">Hello</div>
<div class="movable">World</div>

<div class="receiver"></div>
<div class="receiver"></div>
<div class="receiver"></div>
<div class="receiver"></div>
<div class="receiver"></div>

I've used Scriptaculous, which uses Web 2.0, and JSON data object translation

http://script.aculo.us/

They provide good documentation, and good examples to get you started

Here is a simple example for this feature. It is very easy in HTML 5.

Script:

<script>
function allowDrop(ev) {
ev.preventDefault();
}

function drag(ev) {
ev.dataTransfer.setData("text", ev.target.id);
}

function drop(ev) {
ev.preventDefault();
var data = ev.dataTransfer.getData("text");
ev.target.appendChild(document.getElementById(data));
}
</script>

HTML:

<div id="div1" ondrop="drop(event)" ondragover="allowDrop(event)"></div>
<br>
<img id="drag1" src="img_logo.gif" draggable="true"    ondragstart="drag(event)" width="336" height="69">

CSS:

<style>
#div1 {width:350px;height:70px;padding:10px;border:1px solid #aaaaaa;}
</style>
