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 });
