script.aculo.us Drag & Drop onHover Option

The script.aculo.us library is a cross-browser library that aims at improving the user interface of a website. The Drag & Drop module can be used to make any element drag-gable and also enables them to be dropped in a drop zone.

The onHover option is used to specify a callback function that is activated when a suitable draggable item hovers over the hovering target.

Syntax:

{onHover: function}

Parameters: This option has a single value as mentioned above and described below:

  • function: This is a callback function that would be invoked whenever the element is being hovered over the hovering target.

The below example illustrates the use of this option.
