The ondragenter Event attribute in HTML works when the content is draggable. An element is made by setting the draggable attribute value to true. The draggable attribute can take only true or false values and activates when a dragged element enters a valid drop target.
Syntax<element ondragenter = "script">Attribute Value
This attribute contains a single value script which works when ondragenter event attribute is called.
