The ondragover event attribute will trigger if a draggable element or text is being dragged to a valid drop target. To drag an element garb that element and drag it to the drag point. Here we will use the global HTML 5 draggable attribute. The data and elements can't be dropped. To allow a drop, you have to call the event.preventDefault() method. It is new in HTML 5 does not support below versions of HTML. Note: Images and link are draggable by default. Attributes:
