Guest BSchwarz Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Drag and drop is a user interaction model that we all use on a day to day basis, probably without giving it much thought.

HTML5 Drag and Drop, available in IE10 Platform Preview 2, brings this natural, familiar behavior to the Web. Magnetic Poetry on the IE Test Drive site is example of a site that uses HTML5 Drag and Drop to create an experience that previously would have needed a plug-in or JavaScript library. For an in-depth look at how this demo works, check out this video. Before HTML5, drag and drop behavior on the Web only partially worked without JavaScript frameworks. Now making your site work well with drag and drop is simple.
