Create a Draggable DIV Element

Step 1) Add HTML:

Example

<div id="mydiv">

<div id="mydivheader">Click
here to move</div>
<p>Move</p>
<p>this</p>

<p>DIV</p>
</div>

Step 2) Add CSS:

The only important style is position: absolute,
the rest is up to you:

Example

#mydiv
position: absolute;
    z-index: 9;
    background-color: #f1f1f1;
    border: 1px solid #d3d3d3;
    text-align: center;

#mydivheader
    padding: 10px;
    cursor: move;
    z-index: 10;
    background-color: #2196F3;
    color: #fff;

function dragElement(elmnt)
var pos1 = 0, pos2 = 0, pos3 = 0,
pos4 = 0;
if (document.getElementById(elmnt.id + "header"))

/* if present, the header is where you move the DIV from:*/

document.getElementById(elmnt.id + "header").onmousedown = dragMouseDown;

else
    /* otherwise, move the DIV from anywhere inside
the DIV:*/
    elmnt.onmousedown = dragMouseDown;

function dragMouseDown(e)

function closeDragElement()

/* stop moving when mouse button is released:*/

document.onmouseup = null;
    document.onmousemove = null;
