For draggable DIV tag, what you need to keep in mind is "position: absolute" in style sheet.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <style> #mydiv { position: absolute; z-index: 9; background-color: #f1f1f1; text-align: center; border: 1px solid #d3d3d3; } #mydivheader { padding: 10px; cursor: move; z-index: 10; background-color: #2196F3; color: #fff; } </style> <body> <h1>Draggable DIV Element</h1> <p>Click and hold the mouse button down while moving the DIV element</p> <div id="mydiv"> <div id="mydivheader">Click here to move</div> <p>Move</p> <p>this</p> <p>DIV</p> </div> <script> //Make the DIV element draggagle: dragElement(document.getElementById("mydiv")); function dragElement(elmnt) { var pos1 = 0, pos2 = 0, pos3 = 0, pos4 = 0; if (document.getElementById(elmnt.id + "header")) { /* if present, the header is where you move the DIV from:*/ document.getElementById(elmnt.id + "header").onmousedown = dragMouseDown; } else { /* otherwise, move the DIV from anywhere inside the DIV:*/ elmnt.onmousedown = dragMouseDown; } function dragMouseDown(e) { e = e || window.event; e.preventDefault(); // get the mouse cursor position at startup: pos3 = e.clientX; pos4 = e.clientY; document.onmouseup = closeDragElement; // call a function whenever the cursor moves: document.onmousemove = elementDrag; } function elementDrag(e) { e = e || window.event; e.preventDefault(); // calculate the new cursor position: pos1 = pos3 - e.clientX; pos2 = pos4 - e.clientY; pos3 = e.clientX; pos4 = e.clientY; // set the element's new position: elmnt.style.top = (elmnt.offsetTop - pos2) + "px"; elmnt.style.left = (elmnt.offsetLeft - pos1) + "px"; } function closeDragElement() { /* stop moving when mouse button is released:*/ document.onmouseup = null; document.onmousemove = null; } }
