Creating JavaScript Function

This is where the main function of the application is. This code will transfer the dragged element into list when your submit the form. To do this just copy and write these block of codes inside the text editor and save it as script.js.

function

dragOver(

e)

{
e.preventDefault

(

)

;
}
function

drop(

e)

{
e.preventDefault

(

)

;
let data =

e.dataTransfer

.getData

(

"data"

)

;
document.getElementById

(

'data'

)

.value

=

data;
}
function

drag(

e)

{
e.dataTransfer

.setData

(

"data"

,

e.target

.id

)

;
}
function

transfer(

)

{
let data =

document.getElementById

(

'data'

)

.value

;
if

(

data !=

""

)

{
document.getElementById

(

'result'

)

.innerHTML

+=

data+

"<br />"

;
}
}
function

clearAll(

)

{
document.getElementById

(

'result'

)

.innerHTML

=

""

;
document.getElementById

(

'data'

)

.value

=

""

;
}

This code above uses only one method to transfer the element into html list called transfer(). This function will transfer the dragged element into html list after you submit the form inputs. To transfer a dragged element we just simply get the dragged data via the drag event then put it into the html form in order to submit the inputs.
