dragon.js
is a bookmarklet that lets you drag any element on a website using a mouse or touchscreen. The goal is to speed up in-browser design critiques and brainstorming new layout ideas.
You can test the functionality with demo content on index.html
, where you will also find the ‘pretty’ source code for the bookmarklet.

To use this on other websites you have two options: run it as JavaScript on the page, or create a bookmarklet.
- Create a bookmark
- Edit the URL
- replace the URL with
javascript:
followed by the contents ofdragon.js
Now you can load load any page, then tap the bookmarklet to enter 'dragon' mode
You have two options here as well. All browsers except mobile safari (iPad and iPhone) will allow you to simply replace the URL in the address bar of a loaded website with javascript:
and then write whatever JavaScript you want. I find this easier than a bookmarklet on desktop.
The other way is by opening your Developer Tools in the browser you can paste the contents of dragon.js
into the JavaScript Console and enter it and it will run on the page as well.
