# Example: Drag - Proxy

This example shows a simple proxy drag interaction that doesn't require a drop interaction.

Drag Me

### Setting up the Node

First we need to create an HTML Node to make draggable.

    <div id="demo">Drag Me</div>

Now we give that Node some CSS to make it visible.

    #demo {
        height: 100px;
        width: 100px;
        border: 1px solid black;
        background-color: #8DD5E7;
        cursor: move;
    }

### Setting up the YUI Instance

Now we need to create our YUI instance and tell it to load the `dd-drag` and `dd-proxy` modules.

    YUI().use('dd-drag', 'dd-proxy');

### Making the Node draggable

Now that we have a YUI instance with the `dd-drag` and `dd-proxy` modules, we need to instantiate the `Drag` instance on this Node and add the `DDProxy` plugin.

    YUI().use('dd-drag', 'dd-proxy', function(Y) {
        //Selector of the node to make draggable
        var dd = new Y.DD.Drag({
            node: '#demo',
        }).plug(Y.Plugin.DDProxy); //This config option makes the node a Proxy Drag
    });
