Drag Me

### Setting up the Node

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

    <div id="demo"><h2>x</h2>Drag Me</div>

    <div id="demo"><h2>x</h2>Drag Me</div>

<div id="demo"><h2>x</h2>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;    padding: 7px;}#demo h2 {    padding: 0;    margin: 0;    position: absolute;    top: 5px;    right: 5px;    font-size: 110%;    color: black;    font-weight: bold;    cursor: move;}

    #demo {
        height: 100px;
        width: 100px;
        border: 1px solid black;
        background-color: #8DD5E7;
        padding: 7px;
    }
    #demo h2 {
        padding: 0;
        margin: 0;
        position: absolute;
        top: 5px;
        right: 5px;
        font-size: 110%;
        color: black;
        font-weight: bold;
        cursor: move;
    }

#demo { height: 100px; width: 100px; border: 1px solid black; background-color: #8DD5E7; padding: 7px; } #demo h2 { padding: 0; margin: 0; position: absolute; top: 5px; right: 5px; font-size: 110%; color: black; font-weight: bold; cursor: move; }

### Setting up the YUI Instance

Now we need to create our YUI instance and tell it to load the `dd-plugin` module.

    YUI().use('dd-plugin');

    YUI().use('dd-plugin');

YUI().use('dd-plugin');

### Making the Node draggable with the Drag Plugin

Now that we have a YUI instance with the `dd-plugin` module, we need to instantiate a `Node` instance on this Node.

    YUI().use('dd-plugin', function(Y) {    var node = Y.get('#demo');    node.plug(Y.Plugin.Drag);});

    YUI().use('dd-plugin', function(Y) {
        var node = Y.get('#demo');
        node.plug(Y.Plugin.Drag);
    });

YUI().use('dd-plugin', function(Y) { var node = Y.get('#demo'); node.plug(Y.Plugin.Drag); });

### Accessing the Drag instance

Now that we have a draggable Node, you can get access to the Drag Instance from the `dd` namespace on the `Node` instance.

    YUI().use('dd-plugin', function(Y) {    var node = Y.get('#demo');    node.plug(Y.Plugin.Drag);     //Now you can only drag it from the x in the corner    node.dd.addHandle('h2'); });

    YUI().use('dd-plugin', function(Y) {
        var node = Y.get('#demo');
        node.plug(Y.Plugin.Drag);

        //Now you can only drag it from the x in the corner
        node.dd.addHandle('h2');
    });

YUI().use('dd-plugin', function(Y) { var node = Y.get('#demo'); node.plug(Y.Plugin.Drag); //Now you can only drag it from the x in the corner node.dd.addHandle('h2'); });
