Drag Me

### Setting up the Node

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

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

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

<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;}

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

#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` module.

    YUI().use('dd-drag'

    YUI().use('dd-drag'

YUI().use('dd-drag'

### Making the Node draggable

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

    YUI().use('dd-drag', function(Y) {    //Selector of the node to make draggable    var dd = new Y.DD.Drag({        node: '#demo'    });   });

    YUI().use('dd-drag', function(Y) {
        //Selector of the node to make draggable
        var dd = new Y.DD.Drag({
            node: '#demo'
        });
    });

YUI().use('dd-drag', function(Y) { //Selector of the node to make draggable var dd = new Y.DD.Drag({ node: '#demo' }); });
