HTML5 now defines a direct API for handling drag and drop (“D&D”). This API allows us to specify that certain elements are draggable, and then specify what should happen when these draggable elements are dragged over or dropped onto other elements on the page.

Drag and Drop is supported in:
■ Safari 3.2+
■ Chrome 6.0+
■ Firefox 3.5+ (there is an older API that was supported in Firefox 3.0)
