HTMLElement: dragend event
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The dragend
event is fired when a drag operation ends (by releasing a mouse button or hitting the escape key).
This event is cancelable and may bubble up to the Document
and Window
objects.
Syntax

, or set an event handler property.
addEventListener("dragend", (event) => {});
ondragend = (event) => {};
Event type
Event properties
In addition to the properties listed below, properties from the parent interface, Event
, are available.
DragEvent.dataTransfer
Read only-
The data that is transferred during a drag-and-drop interaction.
Examples
Resetting opacity on dragend
In this example, we have a draggable element inside a container. Try grabbing the element, dragging it, and then releasing it.
We make the element half-transparent while it is dragged, and listen for the dragend
event to reset the element's opacity when it is released.
For a complete example of drag and drop, see the page for the drag
event.
HTML
<div id="container">
<div id="draggable" draggable="true">This div is draggable</div>
