+- `uninitialized`

 Note that these values must be used exactly as listed above. For example, setting the {{domxref("DataTransfer.effectAllowed","effectAllowed")}} property to `copyMove` allows a copy or move operation but prevents the user from performing a link operation. If you don't change the {{domxref("DataTransfer.effectAllowed","effectAllowed")}} property, then any operation is allowed, just like with the '`all`' value. So you don't need to adjust this property unless you want to exclude specific types.

However, you will commonly wish to call the {{domxref("Event.preventDefault","preventDefault()")}} method only in certain situations (for example, only if a link is being dragged).
 
 To do this, call a function which checks a condition and only cancels the event when the condition is met. If the condition is not met, don't cancel the event, and a drop will not occur there if the user releases the mouse button.

-By default, the browser prevents anything from happening when dropping something onto most HTML elements. To change that behavior so that an element becomes a _drop zone_ or is _droppable_, the element must have both {{domxref("HTMLElement.dragover_event","ondragover")}} and {{domxref("HTMLElement.drop_event","ondrop")}} event handler attributes.
+By default, the browser prevents anything from happening when dropping something onto most HTML elements. To change that behavior so that an element becomes a _drop zone_ or is _droppable_, the element must listen to both {{domxref("HTMLElement.dragover_event","dragover")}} and {{domxref("HTMLElement.drop_event","drop")}} events.
 
 The following example shows how to use those attributes, and includes basic event handlers for each attribute.
