Hey friends, today in this blog, you’ll learn how to create a Draggable Div Element in HTML CSS & JavaScript. In the earlier blog, I have shared how to create a Custom Captcha in JavaScript, and now it’s time to create an easy draggable div using pure JavaScript.
The draggable div element means you can move the particular element anywhere on the document or page by dragging it. In our simple project [Draggable Div Element in JavaScript], as you can see in the preview image, there is a modal box with a header, icon, title, and description.
You can move this modal box anywhere on the page by dragging it on the header part. When you start dragging this model, the cursor will change into a “move” icon to inform the user that this div is now dragging. You can only move this modal box by dragging it on the header.

</div>
</div>
<script>
const wrapper = document.querySelector(".wrapper"),
header = wrapper.querySelector("header");
function onDrag({movementX, movementY}){
let getStyle = window.getComputedStyle(wrapper);
let leftVal = parseInt(getStyle.left);
let topVal = parseInt(getStyle.top);
wrapper.style.left = `${leftVal + movementX}px`;
wrapper.style.top = `${topVal + movementY}px`;
}
header.addEventListener("mousedown", ()=>{
header.classList.add("active");
header.addEventListener("mousemove", onDrag);
});
document.addEventListener("mouseup", ()=>{
header.classList.remove("active");
header.removeEventListener("mousemove", onDrag);
});
