Question

I’m dragging an image like it’s done here.
I’m trying to get the id of the div, which I start the dragging process from.
How can I do that?
Thanks.

Answer 1

In the example you linked, the function drag() is triggered by the onDragStart event of the image node. This event object is passed to the ev argument of drag(), giving the drag() function access to the event’s target — that is, the element you’re dragging — via ev.target.

Since you have the target, you can access the target’s parent node with ev.target.parentNode, and you can access the parent node’s ID via ev.target.parentNode.id.
