The HTML DOM ondragend event occurs when a draggable element finishes dragging.
There are some events that are used and occurred in the different stages of a drag-and-drop operation:
- ondragstart: occurs when dragging of an element started.
- ondrag: occurs while an element is dragging.
- ondragend: occurs when dragging of an element finished.
- ondragenter: occurs when the dragged element entered into the drop target.
- ondragover: occurs when the dragged element is over the drop target.
- ondragleave: occurs when the dragged element leaves the drop target.
- ondrop: occurs when the dragged element is dropped on the drop target.
Supported Tags: It supports all HTML elements.
