Definition and Usage of HTML ondragover Event Attribute

The ondragover attribute fires when a draggable element or text selection is being dragged over a valid drop target.

By default, data/elements cannot be dropped in other elements. To allow a drop, we must prevent the default handling of the element. This is done by calling the event.preventDefault() method for the ondragover attribute.

Drag and drop is a very common feature in HTML5. It is when you "grab" an object and drag it to a different location. For more information, see our HTML Tutorial on HTML5 Drag and Drop.

Note: To make an element draggable, use the global HTML5 draggable attribute.

Tip: Links and images are draggable by default, and do not need the draggable attribute.

There are many event attributes that are used, and can occur, in the different stages of a drag and drop operation:

Note: While dragging an element, the ondragover event fires every 350 milliseconds.
