    text
    <p>I am coding a webpage to be viewed on iPad. It uses Safaris/Webkits drag &amp; drop. I have exactly copied Safari's example drag &amp; drop code but it won't work.</p> <p><strong>My Problem:</strong> The ondrop event is never triggered when I run the webpage (HTML, CSS &amp; Javascript) on Safari Desktop or on Safari on an iPad. On ipad I cannot even drag the elements (the microscope thingie appears &amp; it won't drag when I hold &amp; move my finger over the element). The drag does work on desktop though.</p> <p>What's going wrong?</p> <p>The small code example can be found at the very bottom of this page: <a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/AppleApplications/Conceptual/SafariJSProgTopics/DragAndDrop.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/AppleApplications/Conceptual/SafariJSProgTopics/DragAndDrop.html</a></p> <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="true" data-console="false" data-babel="false"> <div class="snippet-code snippet-currently-hidden"> <pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt;Drag-and-Drop&lt;/title&gt; &lt;script&gt; &lt;!-- var dragitem = undefined; function setdragitem(item, evt) { dragitem = item; // alert('item: '+item); // item is an HTML DIV element. // evt is an event. // If the item should not be draggable, enable this next line. // evt.preventDefault(); return true; } function cleardragitem() { dragitem = undefined; // alert('item: '+item); } function dodrag() { // alert('item: '+dragitem); } // This is required---used to tell WebKit that the drag should // be allowed. function handledragenter(elt, evt) { evt.preventDefault(); return true; } function handledragover(elt, evt) { evt.preventDefault(); return true; } function handledragleave(elt, evt) { } function handledrop(elt, evt) { // alert('drop'); dragitem.style.display = "none"; var newid = dragitem.id + '_dest'; var dest = document.getElementById(newid); dest.innerHTML = dragitem.innerHTML; } // --&gt; &lt;/script&gt; &lt;style&gt; &lt;!-- .wordbox { border: 1px solid black; text-align: center; width: 50px; float: left; -webkit-user-drag: element; -webkit-user-select: none; } .spacer { clear: both; } .target { margin-top: 30px; padding: 30px; width: 70px; border: 1px solid black; background: #c0c0ff; margin-bottom: 30px; -webkit-user-drop: element; } .word { margin: 30px; min-height: 30px; border-bottom: 1px solid black; width: 50px; float: left; } --&gt; &lt;/style&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;p&gt;Drop words onto target area to put them in their places.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class='wordbox' id='this' ondragstart='setdragitem(this, event);' ondrag='dodrag();' ondragend='cleardragitem();'&gt;This&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class='wordbox' id='is' ondragstart='setdragitem(this, event);' ondrag='dodrag();' ondragend='cleardragitem();'&gt;is&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class='wordbox' id='a' ondragstart='setdragitem(this, event);' ondrag='dodrag();' ondragend='cleardragitem();'&gt;a&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class='wordbox' id='test' ondragstart='setdragitem(this, event);' ondrag='dodrag();' ondragend='cleardragitem();'&gt;test&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class='spacer'&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class='target' ondragenter='handledragenter(this, event);' ondragover='handledragover(this, event);' ondragleave='handledragleave(this, event);' ondrop='handledrop(this, event);'&gt;TARGET&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class='words'&gt; &lt;div class='word' id='this_dest'&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class='word' id='is_dest'&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class='word' id='a_dest'&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class='word' id='test_dest'&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt;</code></pre> </div> </div> </p> <p><strong>Here is the JSFiddle</strong> (remember the drag &amp; drop is Webkit so only for Safari-this webpage is for ipad only): <a href="https://jsfiddle.net/eyM3y/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://jsfiddle.net/eyM3y/</a></p>
