Examples
Resetting opacity on drag end
In this example, we have a draggable element inside a container. Try grabbing the element, dragging it, and then releasing it.
We make the element half-transparent while it is being dragged, and listen for the dragend
event to reset the element's opacity when it is released.
For a more complete example of drag and drop, see the page for the drag
event.
