## Basic Drag and Drop

The YUI Drag and Drop Utility lets you make HTML elements draggable.

For this example, we will enable drag and drop for the three `<div>` elements.

Create the `demo` elements:

<div id="dd-demo-1" class="dd-demo"></div> <div id="dd-demo-2" class="dd-demo"></div> <div id="dd-demo-3" class="dd-demo"></div>

Now we create the instances of `YAHOO.util.DD`, passing the element ids or references for our demo elements.

<script type="text/javascript"> (function() { var dd, dd2, dd3; YAHOO.util.Event.onDOMReady(function() { dd = new YAHOO.util.DD("dd-demo-1"); dd2 = new YAHOO.util.DD("dd-demo-2"); dd3 = new YAHOO.util.DD("dd-demo-3"); }); })(); </script>
