Execute a script when the dragged element is being dropped in HTML?


The ondrop attribute triggers when the dragged element is being dropped in HTML.

Example

You can try to run the following code to implement ondrop attribute −

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
   <head>
      <style>
         .drag {
            float  : left;
            width  : 100px;
            height : 35px;
            border : 2px dashed #876587;
            margin : 15px;
            padding: 10px;
         }
      </style>
   </head>
   <body>
      <div class = "drag" ondrop = "drop(event)" ondragover = "dropNow(event)">
         <p ondragstart = "dragStart(event)" ondrag = "draggingNow(event)" draggable = "true" id="dragtarget">Drag!</p>
      </div>
      <div class = "drag" ondrop = "drop(event)" ondragover = "dropNow(event)"></div>
      <div id="box"></div>
      <p>Drag the left box to the right or drag the right box to the left.</p>
      <script>
         function dragStart(event) {
            event.dataTransfer.setData("Text", event.target.id);
         }
         function draggingNow(event) {
            document.getElementById("box").innerHTML = "Dragged successfully!";
         }
         function dropNow(event) {
            event.preventDefault();
         }
         function drop(event) {
            event.preventDefault();
            var data = event.dataTransfer.getData("Text");
            event.target.appendChild(document.getElementById(data));
            document.getElementById("box").innerHTML = "The element dropped successfully!";
         }
      </script>
   </body>
</html>
