If you can use JQuery and JQueryUI please take a look at:
http://jqueryui.com/demos/droppable/

They have demos and example codes that will probably solve your problems.

Look at this specific example: http://jqueryui.com/demos/droppable/#accepted-elements
You can use the over event to notify you when a a dragged item comes in a element:

$(".dropable").bind( "dropover", function(event, ui) {
   console.log(event);
   console.log(ui);
   console.log($(this));
});

If you run this on Chrome you can check on the console when the event is triggered, and what information it contains.
