Drop target listens to which events in HTML5?


To accept a drop, the drop target has to listen to at least three events.

  •  The dragenter event, which is used to determine whether the drop target is to accept the drop. If the drop is to be accepted, then this event has to be canceled.
  •  The dragover event, which is used to determine what feedback is to be shown to the user. If the event is canceled, then the feedback (typically the cursor) is updated based on the dropEffect attribute's value.
  •  Finally, the drop event, which allows the actual drop to be performed.
