<p>This example shows how to make a sortable list using Custom Event Bubbling.</p>

<h3>Setting up the lists</h3>

<p>First we will make some lists that we want to make sortable.</p>

```

<div id="play">

<ul id="list1">

<li class="list1">Item #1</li>

<li class="list1">Item #2</li>

<li class="list1">Item #3</li>

<li class="list1">Item #4</li>

<li class="list1">Item #5</li>

</ul>

<ul id="list2">

<li class="list2">Item #1</li>

<li class="list2">Item #2</li>

<li class="list2">Item #3</li>

<li class="list2">Item #4</li>

<li class="list2">Item #5</li>

</ul>

</div>

```

<h3>Setting up the YUI Instance</h3>

<p>Now we need to create our YUI instance and tell it to load the `dd-constrain`, `dd-proxy` and `dd-drop`, modules.</p>

```

YUI().use('dd-constrain', 'dd-proxy', 'dd-drop', function(Y) {

```

<h3>Making the Nodes Drag Instances and Drop Targets</h3>

<p>Now we have our YUI instance ready, we can make the list items draggable. We will do this using `Y.Node.all`</p>

<p>We will be passing the selector string `#play ul li` to `Y.Node.all` to have it return a `NodeList` of the li's in our two lists.

Using this selector syntax we will be able to add new list markup to the `#play` div and not have to change our code.</p>

<p>Then we will walk that `NodeList` and create our draggable Nodes.</p>

<p>Note that we are adding the `DDProxy` and `DDConstrained` plugins to each Drag instance, and setting the following configuration options: `moveOnEnd, constrain2node, target`.</p>

```

//Get the list of li's in the lists and make them draggable

var lis = Y.Node.all('#play ul li');

lis.each(function(v, k) {

var dd = new Y.DD.Drag({

node: v,

//Make it Drop target and pass this config to the Drop constructor

target: {

padding: '0 0 0 20'

}

}).plug(Y.Plugin.DDProxy, {

//Don't move the node at the end of the drag

moveOnEnd: false

}).plug(Y.Plugin.DDConstrained, {

//Keep it inside the #play node

constrain2node: '#play'

});

});

```

<h3>Making the List Drop Targets too</h3>

<p>We need to make the UL nodes a Drop Target so we can catch drops on the empty space of the list.

Using this selector syntax we will be able to add new list markup to the `#play` div and not have to change our code.</p>

```

//Create simple targets for the 2 lists.

var uls = Y.Node.all('#play ul');

uls.each(function(v, k) {

var tar = new Y.DD.Drop({

node: v

});

});

```

<h3>Using Event Bubbling</h3>

<p>By default, all Drag and Drop instances bubble their events up to the DragDropMgr. In this example we are assuming that there are no other Drag Operations in this YUI Instance.</p>

<h3>Start Drag Event</h3>

<p>The first thing we will do is handle the drag:start event. In this event, we will set up some styles to apply to the `node` and `dragNode` of the current Drag instance.</p>

<p>We will also be copying the `innerHTML` of the `node` and copying that to the `innerHTML` of the `dragNode`. </p>

<p><em>It should be noted, that

doing this will also copy any `id`'s of the nodes inside the `node`. So if you are using this on something that is `id` based, you may need to remove the `id`'s

of the nodes inside the `node` that is being dragged.

</em></p>

```

Y.DD.DDM.on('drag:start', function(e) {

//Get our drag object

var drag = e.target;

//Set some styles here

drag.get('node').setStyle('opacity', '.25');

drag.get('dragNode').set('innerHTML', drag.get('node').get('innerHTML'));

drag.get('dragNode').setStyles({

opacity: '.5',

borderColor: drag.get('node').getStyle('borderColor'),

backgroundColor: drag.get('node').getStyle('backgroundColor')

});

});

```

<h3>End Drag Event</h3>

<p>In this event, we will reset some of the styles set in the drag:start event.</p>

```

Y.DD.DDM.on('drag:end', function(e) {

var drag = e.target;

//Put our styles back

drag.get('node').setStyles({

visibility: '',

opacity: '1'

});

});

```

<h3>Drag Event</h3>

<p>In this event, we will track the up/down movement for later use.</p>

```

Y.DD.DDM.on('drag:drag', function(e) {

//Get the last y point

var y = e.target.lastXY[1];

//is it greater than the lastY var?

if (y &lt; lastY) {

//We are going up

goingUp = true;

} else {

//We are going down.

goingUp = false;

}

//Cache for next check

lastY = y;

});

```

<h3>Over Drop Event</h3>

<p>In this event, know which Target we are over, so we add the Drag node to the list either above or below the current Drop Target.</p>

```

Y.DD.DDM.on('drop:over', function(e) {

//Get a reference to our drag and drop nodes

var drag = e.drag.get('node'),

drop = e.drop.get('node');

//Are we dropping on a li node?

if (drop.get('tagName').toLowerCase() === 'li') {

//Are we not going up?

if (!goingUp) {

drop = drop.get('nextSibling');

}

//Add the node to this list

e.drop.get('node').get('parentNode').insertBefore(drag, drop);

//Resize this nodes shim, so we can drop on it later.

e.drop.sizeShim();

}

});

```

<h3>Drop Hit Event</h3>

<p>In this event, we check to see if the target that was dropped on was not an LI node. If it wasn't, then we know it was dropped on the empty space of the UL.</p>

```

Y.DD.DDM.on('drag:drophit', function(e) {

var drop = e.drop.get('node'),

drag = e.drag.get('node');

//if we are not on an li, we must have been dropped on a ul

if (drop.get('tagName').toLowerCase() !== 'li') {

if (!drop.contains(drag)) {

drop.appendChild(drag);

}

}

});

```
