Dynamic alternate content for HTML5 Drag & Drop

[dmesinger]

In HTML5 drag and drop doesn't suuport dynamic information for setdrag(). It only allows for an alternate image. My article will be how to manipulate native drag and drop with some simple js to achieve this.

Interesting. Can you provide more details about how this is done and when
it should be used?

hey Paul, thanks for getting back to me. So I am working on an app., and
we are using native drag and drop. However, business asked if there were a
way when dragging multiple items to show an alternate image to represent
multiple items but also provide a count. The approach was to make a hidden
html element and on drag swap the items for this element. This way I could
push the data from the selected items into the hidden element along with
the count and when you dragged the transparent preview of the dragged
element was of the hidden element I had built. Not of the items selected.

Sorry for the delay. I will have a bit more of a think about this soon.

take your time I'm not going anywhere. If you have any ideas about the
topic I would be interested to hear them. I wrestled with this a bit, it
felt hacky but it was the only thing I could think of to solve the gap.

Hey Paul, I'm going to have some time this weekend to put some work into
the IE aspect of this so I wanted to know if you had any thoughts.

Sorry for the delay. I am not sure the current focus is exactly where I want us to head on h5r. Areas that I am interested in are cross platform drag and drop patterns. Where and when they make sense to use them on desktop, tablet and mobile.

sounds more ;like a UX thing than a code thing. Ok, thanks Paul
