<p>The <code>draggable</code> <a href="../global_attributes">global attribute</a> is an <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Enumerated">enumerated</a> attribute that indicates whether the element can be dragged, either with native browser behavior or the <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTML_Drag_and_Drop_API">HTML Drag and Drop API</a>.</p> <p> The <code>draggable</code> attribute may be applied to elements that strictly fall under the <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Namespace">HTML namespace</a>, which means that it cannot be applied to <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG">SVGs</a>. For more information about what namespace declarations look like, and what they do, see <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Namespaces_Crash_Course">Namespace crash course</a>. </p> <p><code>draggable</code> can have the following values:</p> <ul> <li>
<code>true</code>: the element can be dragged.</li> <li>
<code>false</code>: the element cannot be dragged.</li> </ul> <div class="notecard warning" id="sect1"> <p><strong>Warning:</strong> This attribute is <em><a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Enumerated">enumerated</a></em> and not <em>Boolean</em>. A value of <code>true</code> or <code>false</code> is mandatory, and shorthand like <code>&lt;img draggable&gt;</code> is forbidden. The correct usage is <code>&lt;img draggable="false"&gt;</code>.</p> </div> <p>If this attribute is not set, its default value is <code>auto</code>, which means drag behavior is the default browser behavior: only text selections, images, and links can be dragged. For other elements, the event <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLElement/dragstart_event"><code>ondragstart</code></a> must be set for drag and drop to work, as shown in this <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTML_Drag_and_Drop_API/Drag_operations">comprehensive example</a>.</p>
