    Take a look at the following link:

    http://ljouanneau.com/lab/html5/demodragdrop.html

    Here is the page code for the example:

    <html>
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="content-type"/>
<title>HTML5 Drag and drop demonstration</title>
<style type="text/css">
#boxA, #boxB, #boxC { 
  float:left; width:200px; height:200px; padding:10px; margin:10px;
}

#boxA { background-color: blue; }
#boxB { background-color: green; }
#boxC { background-color: yellow; }

#drag, #drag2, #drag3 {
  width:50px; height:50px; padding:5px; margin:5px;
  -moz-user-select:none;
}
#drag { background-color: red;}
#drag2 { background-color: orange;}
#drag3 { background-color: purple; border:3px brown solid;}

</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function dragStart(ev) {
    ev.dataTransfer.effectAllowed='move';
    //ev.dataTransfer.dropEffect='move';
    ev.dataTransfer.setData("Text", ev.target.getAttribute('id'));
    ev.dataTransfer.setDragImage(ev.target,0,0);
    return true;
}

function dragEnter(ev) {
    var idelt = ev.dataTransfer.getData("Text");
    return true;
}

function dragOver(ev) {
    var idelt = ev.dataTransfer.getData("Text");
    var id = ev.target.getAttribute('id');
    if( (id =='boxB' || id =='boxA') && (idelt == 'drag' || idelt=='drag2'))
        return false;
    else if( id =='boxC' && idelt == 'drag3')
        return false;
    else
        return true;
}

function dragEnd(ev) {
    ev.dataTransfer.clearData("Text");
    return true
}

function dragDrop(ev) {
    var idelt = ev.dataTransfer.getData("Text");
    ev.target.appendChild(document.getElementById(idelt));
    ev.stopPropagation();
    return false; // return false so the event will not be propagated to the browser
}

</script>
