| Default action |
Calls the associated event handler if there is one. |
Fires on the source object, right after the ondragstart event. The ondrag event fires throughout the drag operation, whether the selection being dragged is over the drag source, a valid target, or an invalid target.
While event handlers in the Document Object Model do not receive parameters directly, the handler can query the event object for data.
