When a drag occurs, a translucent image is generated from the drag target (the element the dragstart event is fired at), and follows the mouse pointer during the drag. This image is created automatically, so you do not need to create it yourself. However, if a custom image is desired, the DataTransfer.setDragImage() method can be used to set the custom image to be used. The image will typically be an <img> element but it can also be a <canvas> or any other visible element.
The method's x and y coordinates define how the image should appear relative to the mouse pointer. These coordinates define the offset into the image where the mouse cursor should be. For instance, to display the image so that the pointer is at its center, use values that are half the width and height of the image.
This method must be called in the dragstart event handler.
setDragImage(imgElement, xOffset, yOffset)
imgElement
An image Element element to use for the drag feedback image.
If Element is an img element, then set the drag data store bitmap to the element's image (at its intrinsic size); otherwise, set the drag data store bitmap to an image generated from the given element (the exact mechanism for doing so is not currently specified).
Note: If the Element is an existing HTMLElement it needs to be visible in the viewport in order to be shown as a drag feedback image. Alternatively, you can create a new DOM element that might be off-screen specifically for this purpose.
xOffset
A long indicating the horizontal offset within the image.
yOffset
A long indicating the vertical offset within the image.
