JavaScript - Success Finally! Javascript Drag 'n' Drop Kinetic Scrolling!

There are 2 images, and 2 locations, lets named it img1, img2, loc1, and loc2. What im trying to do is drag and drop img1 to loc1, which mean i don't want img1 to be drop in loc2, i want the specific image drop on specific location.

Code:

function dropIn(evt)
{
    var root = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0];
    evt.preventDefault();
    var id = evt.dataTransfer.getData("text");

     if(ev.target.getAttribute('data-drop') == id)
        ev.target.appendChild(document.getElementById(id));
}

<div id="box1"  style="position: absolute; top: 220px; left: 220px;" ondragover="dragIn();" ondrop="dropIn();" >
<img id="img1" class="resize" src="wreck.jpg" ondragstart="dragBegin()" draggable="true" style="cursor:move;"/></div>
<div id="loc1" data-drop="img1" style="border:1px solid black; position:absolute;  left:400px; top:150px; width:160px; height:200px;"ondragover="dragIn();" ondrop="dropIn();" ></div>

<div id="box2"  style="position: absolute; top: 220px; left: 300px;" ondragover="dragIn();" ondrop="dropIn();" >
<img id="img2" class="resize" src="nah.jpg" ondragstart="dragBegin()" draggable="true" style="cursor:move;"/></div>
<div id="loc2" data-drop="img2" style="border:1px solid black; position:absolute;  left:560px; top:150px; width:160px; height:200px;"ondragover="dragIn();" ondrop="dropIn();" ></div>

so far the code above allow me to achieve what i want, but its not perfect, when i drop img1 to loc2, it did nothing. What i really want is when i drop img1 to loc2, the img1 is still dropped on the loc1. No matter where the img1 will be drop by user, the result of img1 will still be dropped on loc1, and same goes to img2, it will always be dropped on the loc2.

I tried this but its not working

Code:

if(evt.target.getAttribute('data-drop') == id){

      evt.target.appendChild(document.getElementById(id));
      } 
      else{
          evt.target.appendChild(document.getElementsByAttribute('data-drop'));
      }

is there any soloution for me? Thanks alot

I need to be able to drag an image from one browser window to a form text input in a different window, populating it with the image file name.

I can do this easily, except that the result is the whole url, and I only want the filename to be inserted. In other words, it inserts http://www.path/path/file.jpg, but I just want to end up with file.jpg.

I believe the file object .name property holds the info I need, but I don't know how to populate the input field with it.

Any help appreciated.

I have made a code which is for a 9 tile picture puzzle.And i have done it for click event.now i want to make it possible to drag and drop to swap divs rather than clicking.So how do i swap divs with only javascript.[p.s my divs are dynamically created]

Hello everyone!

So, what it does: You can successfully drag something anywhere, but when you click it again, it resets to its original position (I don't know why), and when you try to drag it again, as soon as your cursor touches the object it disappears (I don't know why). I'm hoping someone can tell me why it is happening and how to fix it!

Code:

// JavaScript Document

var posX;
var posY;
var element;

function drag(event) {
	element = document.getElementById("square");
	posX = event.clientX;
	posY = event.clientY;
	element.addEventListener("mousemove", move, false);
}

function move(event) {
	
	if (typeof(document.getElementById("square").mouseup) == "undefined")
		element.addEventListener("mouseup", drop, false);
	//Prevents redundantly adding the same event handler repeatedly
	
	element.style.left = event.clientX - posX + "px";
	element.style.top = event.clientY - posY + "px";
}

function drop() {
	element.removeEventListener("mousemove", move, false);
	element.removeEventListener("mouseup", drop, false);
}

the html is a simple (position is set to relative):

<p id="square" onmousedown="drag(event)">meep</p>

Lastly, and most importantly, thank you all for your time =]

EDIT: This is the first time I've written javascript code and would like to learn the basics, which is why I am not using a library.

Hello, I'm in need of help on my drag and drop code. How can I make 2 images (1 draggable, 1 static) each switch to alternate images when the draggable is dragged over the static?

Hello,

I have a system where one clicks on an image an a floating calculator appear.

PROBLEM

I added a drop down function on the image in order to open different calculators.

The system works however the calculator won't drop (doesn't deselect).

Any ideas.


New code.

<a href="javascript:;" onMouseOver="MM_showMenu(window.mm_menu_1009090908_0,11,82,null,'image1')" onMouseOut="MM_startTimeout();">

Hey complete beginner to javascript here so sorry if I'm doing something stupid

Basically I've tried to follow this guide to make it so that I can move an image on the page.

I have a style tag in the head

Code:

<style type="text/css">.drag{position: relative;}</style>

I have an image like this:

Code:

<img src="logo.png" class="drag" alt="logo" />

which is obviously in the body

I copied and pasted the code given in the guide:

Code:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var _startX = 0;			// mouse starting positions
var _startY = 0;
var _offsetX = 0;			// current element offset
var _offsetY = 0;
var _dragElement;			// needs to be passed from OnMouseDown to OnMouseMove
var _oldZIndex = 0;			// we temporarily increase the z-index during drag
var _debug = $('debug');	// makes life easier


InitDragDrop();

function InitDragDrop()
{
	document.onmousedown = OnMouseDown;
	document.onmouseup = OnMouseUp;
}

function OnMouseDown(e)
{
	// IE is retarded and doesn't pass the event object
	if (e == null) 
		e = window.event; 
	
	// IE uses srcElement, others use target
	var target = e.target != null ? e.target : e.srcElement;
	
	_debug.innerHTML = target.className == 'drag' 
		? 'draggable element clicked' 
		: 'NON-draggable element clicked';

	// for IE, left click == 1
	// for Firefox, left click == 0
	if ((e.button == 1 && window.event != null || 
		e.button == 0) && 
		target.className == 'drag')
	{
		// grab the mouse position
		_startX = e.clientX;
		_startY = e.clientY;
		
		// grab the clicked element's position
		_offsetX = ExtractNumber(target.style.left);
		_offsetY = ExtractNumber(target.style.top);
		
		// bring the clicked element to the front while it is being dragged
		_oldZIndex = target.style.zIndex;
		target.style.zIndex = 10000;
		
		// we need to access the element in OnMouseMove
		_dragElement = target;

		// tell our code to start moving the element with the mouse
		document.onmousemove = OnMouseMove;
		
		// cancel out any text selections
		document.body.focus();
		
		// prevent text selection in IE
		document.onselectstart = function () { return false; };
		// prevent IE from trying to drag an image
		target.ondragstart = function() { return false; };
		
		// prevent text selection (except IE)
		return false;
	}
}

function ExtractNumber(value)
{
	var n = parseInt(value);
	
	return n == null || isNaN(n) ? 0 : n;

I have tried putting the javascript in the head and the body but no matter where I put it, I can't drag and drop the image. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for your time

All I Want To Make Happen Is That If You Drag and Drop A Div Into A Table An Action Happens

Dear forum

Rather than use a library, I have attempted to write my own attempt at a script that allows multiple elements to be dragged around the page. It starts by loading all divs into an array, and then forms a new array of only divs with the required class name. I believe this script doesn't work for internet explorer, but I am not concerned by this.

As you will see if you run the code below, the script works well for divs containing text, but if I include an image inside a div, then the image will follow the mouse even if the button is released.

I have spent a whole day on this tiny script and really don't know where to go from here! Could anybody shed some light on this please?

Thanks

Matt

var all_els=[]; 
var els=[]; 
var el; 

 window.onload = function() 
 { 

all_els=document.getElementsByTagName("div"); //an array of all div elements on page 
for(var i=0;i<all_els.length;i++){ 

if(all_els[i].className=='dragger') { els.push(all_els[i]);}   //just add those with the correct class name to our final array

I'm sure that you must be sick and tired of the drag & drop question and for that I apologise but I have not been able to find an answer to this particular requirement despite much reading.

The object of this task is to create a very limited editor in javascript.

I have a page with two DIVs in columns. The left DIV holds text and the right holds several images. The DIVs are populated as the page loads.

There are a couple of buttons used to apply styles to the selected text, heading or description. Looking like this :-
Code:

<div id="details">
  <p class="heading">text</p>
  <p class="desc">text</p>
  <p class="heading">text</p>
  <p class="desc">text</p>
  <p class="heading">text</p>
  <p class="desc">text</p>
</div>

Once the text has been formatted as above, I want to be able to drag the images into place in the text like this :-
Code:

<div id="details">
  <p class="heading">text</p>
  <p class="desc">text</p>
  <p class="heading"><img src="photo.jpg">text</p>
  <p class="desc">text</p>
  <p class="heading">text</p>
  <p class="desc">text</p>
</div>

The images in the left DIV have been given float right in css.

I have not been able to find a method of placing that image in position like that.

I guess it doesn't have to be drag&drop, but that would be far easer for the operator.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please but I beg, please be gentle I am a newbie at javascript.

Many thanks.

Edited to add: This only needs to work in FF.

Hi. I'm trying to get drag and drop script working from this tutorial:

Can anyone tell me please what is wrong with this script?

Hi everyone,
I am setting up a website where we want a drag n drop solution for a customer to place an email.
To give you an idea on what we want, picture this...
A form where the customer can enter there details.
Below the form are icons of items.
The customer can then drag these items into an image of a box below.
Would also be nice if it could list what is "in" the box.
Once customer is satisfied, the contents get emailed to us and we can provide further details from there.
Mainly has to look nice from the customers side, on our side we are happy to receive just the titles or codes of what they are dragging into this box.

Hopefully i have made this simple to understand, if anyone needs any more information, please do not hesitate to ask me.

Also, this will be implemented into a Joomla site once sorted out, if that makes any difference.

Thank you in advance!

I am creating a website that runs an iFrame with website displayed in it. On that page, in the frame, there is a simple href hyperlink. I have a text element next to the iFrame that is acting as an address bar. I want to be able to drag the link from the frame to the address bar and ondrop have the iframe redirect to the dragged link url. Here is the code I have
Code:

<html>
<head>
<style>
#NetFrame {
border:2px solid #0A9;
height:650px;
width:75%;
Position: absolute;
top:2%;
left:25%;

}
#url {
width:25%;
height:650px;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function getUrl() {
var source = document.getElementById('url').value;
loadUrl(source);
}
function loadUrl(source) {
var showUrl = document.getElementById('NetFrame');

NetFrame.src = source;

document.getElementById('url').value="";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="text" id="url" onDragEnd="getUrl()"/>

</form>
<iframe src="link1.html" id="NetFrame"> </iframe>
</body>
</html>

The iFrame is called NetFrame and the Text element is url. I have not coded in 6 years and am stuck here. Please Help, and be specific you are explaining to an absolute novice.
