Drag and drop operations are common in desktop applications. Modern web applications also try to harness the ease and power of drag and drop operations to provide enhanced user experience. Web developers often resorted to JavaScript based libraries or custom techniques for enabling drag and drop behavior in their applications. Luckily, HTML5 comes with an inbuilt support for drag and drop. Using drag and drop features, you can drag an HTML element and drop it onto another. In the process you can also pass data from the source element to the target element. Integrating drag and drop with server side processing allows you to provide rich user experience.
