Creating a UI with drag-and-drop
Drag-and-drop is another new feature of HTML5. It was already possible to create drag-and-drop objects in web pages, but you needed to include a JavaScript library like jQuery or Prototype. As of HTML5, drag-and-drop is native supported by the use of a drag-and-drop API.
Drag-and-drop can offer a user-friendly user interface, where the user can easily move objects. We will create a web page where the user can drag-and-drop employees to other departments. On dropping the employee, the table EMP is updated with the new DEPTNO.
Getting ready
