image fading out when size is big using HTML drag

We are using drag & drop feature of HTML.
As you can see div width is 410px and if start dragging this div, its ghost image of it fades out completely. I have big/large images to display while dragging them and as they are big in size they start to fade out completely. Is there any problem ?
If I change div width to 210px then the ghost image looks fine. Then what's the problem with 410px is there any limit to it? If yes, how can I increase it ?
var els = document.getElementsByTagName('div');
for (var i = 0, l = els.length; i < l; i++) {
els[i].addEventListener('dragstart', function (e) {
e.dataTransfer.setData('text/plain', e.target.innerText);
});
}
div {
display: inline-block;
line-height: 300px;
text-align: center;
background: orange;
margin: 20px;
}
<div draggable="true" style="width:410px">Item 2</div>

hide original image using event.dataTransfer.setDragImage(new Image(), 0, 0);
on dragstart. onDrag get the ghost image, update position using event.pageX, evenet.pageY
onDrag(event){
event.preventDefault();
const parentElement = <HTMLDivElement>(document.querySelector('.darggable-ghost-wrapper'));
parentElement.style.position = "fixed";
parentElement.style.left = event.pageX + "px";
parentElement.style.top = event.pageY + 5 + "px";
parentElement.style.opacity = ArhitectUtlityConstants.GHOSTPREVIEW.ghostOpacity;
parentElement.style.border = "1px solid green !important";
}

Using two mouse events after each other

I am creating a canvas alike without using canvas tag , by creating new div each time mouse is down, i can't figure out how to run a second event.
Like mousedown then mousemove event where the seconed event occur only after the first one is true?
also if you can help with the offset coordinates
var paintbox = document.getElementById("canvas");
var start = function() {
paintbox.addEventListener("mousedown", drawOnCanvas);
};
var newColor = document.getElementById("colorPick");
var drawOnCanvas = function() {
var newClick = document.createElement("div");
newClick.setAttribute("id", "smallDiv");
newClick.style.backgroundColor = newColor.value;
newClick.style.width = "10px";
newClick.style.height = "10px";
newClick.style.position = "absolute";
paintbox.appendChild(newClick);
}

Set the handler on the mousemove event instead of mousedown and in the handler check whether the mouse button is down.
It would be better to move the 10px/position style settings in a CSS class. Also, don't generate elements with the same id attribute value: that generates invalid HTML. Use a class instead.
For the positioning you can use the pageX and pageY properties of the event object.
Finally, as the events will be triggered on the small divs when you make small moves, an extra check might be necessary to verify the mouse is still in the paint box.
var paintbox = document.getElementById("canvas");
var start = function() {
paintbox.addEventListener("mousemove", drawOnCanvas);
};
var newColor = document.getElementById("colorPick");
var drawOnCanvas = function(e) {
if ((e.buttons & 1) === 0) return; // Mouse button is not down
// Extra check to see we are well within the box boundaries:
var box = paintbox.getBoundingClientRect();
if (e.clientX - 5 < box.left || e.clientX + 5 > box.right
|| e.clientY - 5 < box.top || e.clientY + 5 > box.bottom) return;
var newClick = document.createElement("div");
newClick.className = "smallDiv"; // Don't create duplicate ID; put CSS in class
newClick.style.backgroundColor = newColor.value;
paintbox.appendChild(newClick);
newClick.style.left = (e.pageX-5) + "px";
newClick.style.top = (e.pageY-5) + "px";
}
start();
#canvas {
height: 150px;
width: 300px;
border: 1px solid;
display: inline-block;
margin: 10px;
}
.smallDiv {
width: 10px;
height: 10px;
position: absolute;
}
Color: <input id="colorPick" type="color"><br>
<div id="canvas"></div>

Simple range /value Slider in JavaScript

I am trying to do a simple Range/Value Slider by using javascript or jQuery, A button in a div.This slider should be done without bootstrapor any other pluginor with inbuild functions
My question is how to move the slider button within the div element and what mouse events are needed to do this?
Note:This is not a slideshow slider or image slider

Take a look at this simple slider implementation. Feel free to use and modify the way you prefer:
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
var sliders = document.querySelectorAll('.my-slider');
[].forEach.call(sliders, function(el, i) {
var btn = el.firstElementChild,
span = el.nextElementSibling.querySelector('span'),
isMoving = false;
var move = function(e) {
if (isMoving) {
var min = 0,
max = el.offsetWidth - btn.offsetWidth,
mousePos = (e.pageX - el.offsetLeft - (btn.offsetWidth / 2)),
position = (mousePos > max ? max : mousePos < min ? min : mousePos),
value = Math.floor((position / max) * 100);
btn.style.marginLeft = position + 'px';
btn.value = value;
span.textContent = value;
}
};
el.addEventListener('mousedown', function(e) {
isMoving = true;
move(e);
});
document.addEventListener('mouseup', function(e) {
isMoving = false;
});
document.addEventListener('mousemove', function(e) {
move(e);
});
});
});
.my-slider {
width: 250px;
border: 1px solid #999;
border-radius: 3px;
background-color: #ccc;
height: 10px;
line-height: 10px;
}
.my-slider__button {
border: 1px solid #333;
border-radius: 3px;
margin-top: -4px;
width: 18px;
height: 18px;
background-color: #eee;
display: block;
}
div {
margin-top: 6px;
}
<div class="my-slider">
<button class="my-slider__button"></button>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Current value: </strong><span></span>
</div>
<div class="my-slider">
<button class="my-slider__button"></button>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Current value: </strong><span></span>

</div>

You use drag and drop events, with a property setting that is restricted to the div it is within. Check out this link Drag Drop Reference Guide, and you will see everything you need. When you use draggable and dropable, you can restrict the movement to horizontal, and also set the element that it is bound to. This will allow you to only move left to right, and restrict vertical movement, and keep in the boundaries of the div. The same features bootstrap uses to get it done.
Here is a basic example showing some of the stuff mentioned:
$('. draggable').draggable({
axis: 'y',
handle: '.top'
drag: function( event, ui ) {
var distance = ui.originalPosition.top - ui.position.top;
// if dragged towards top
if (distance > 0) {
//then set it to its initial state
$('.draggable').css({top: ui.originalPosition.top + 'px'});
}
}
});

try this :
$('img').mouseenter(function(){ //or you can use hover()
// Set the effect type
var effect = 'slide';
// Set the options for the effect type chosen
var options = { direction: "right" };
// Set the duration (default: 400 milliseconds)
var duration = 1000;
$(this).toggle(effect, options, duration);
});

How to change the cursor icon when dragging in HTML5?

I need to set the icon for cursor when a user is dragging DIV (red div in the following example).
I have tried several attempt, including using CSS cursor:move and event.dataTransfer.dropEffect with no success, as the icon always show up a "crossed circle".
Any ideas how to solve this issue using HTML5 drag-and-drop API?
http://jsbin.com/hifidunuqa/1/
<script>
window.app = {
config: {
canDrag: false,
cursorOffsetX: null,
cursorOffsetY: null
},
reset: function () {
this.config.cursorOffsetX = null;
this.config.cursorOffsetY = null;
},
start: function () {
document.getElementById('target').addEventListener('dragstart', function (event) {
console.log('+++++++++++++ dragstart')
this.config.cursorOffsetX = event.offsetX;
this.config.cursorOffsetY = event.offsetY;
this.adjustPostion(event);
event.dataTransfer.effectAllowed = 'move';
event.dataTransfer.dropEffect = 'move';
}.bind(this));
document.getElementById('target').addEventListener('drag', function (event) {
console.log('+++++++++++++ drag')
this.adjustPostion(event);
}.bind(this));
document.getElementById('target').addEventListener('dragend', function (event) {
console.log('+++++++++++++ dragend')
this.reset();
}.bind(this));;
},
adjustPostion: function (event) {
if (event.pageX <= 0 || event.pageY <= 0) {
console.log('skipped');
return;
}
var elm = document.getElementById('target');
elm.style.left = (event.pageX - this.config.cursorOffsetX) + 'px';
elm.style.top = (event.pageY - this.config.cursorOffsetY) + 'px';
console.log(event.pageX);
console.log(event.pageY);
}
};

Do you actually need the Drag API? I found that I was using the Drag API because I was having trouble with the reliability of mouse events (mouseups not being captured, for example).
The Drag API is only for drag-and-drop functionality, and, if you're simply fiddling with the reliability of your clicking and pointing events, a new API, .setPointerCapture is made to handle these cases more effectively. Here's the minimal viable way to achieve this:
el.onpointerdown = ev => {
el.onpointermove = pointerMove
el.setPointerCapture(ev.pointerId)
}
pointerMove = ev => {
console.log('Dragged!')
}
el.onpointerUp = ev => {
el.onpointermove = null
el.releasePointerCapture(ev.pointerId)
}
Beautifully, you will maintain full control over your cursor's display style.

I didn't care about a particular cursor, I just wanted to get rid of the "crossed circle" one. My solution was to include dragover event (with following function) to all elements, that already had dragenter, dragstart and dragend events.
function dragover(event)
{
event.dataTransfer.dropEffect = "move";
event.preventDefault();
}

Adding event.dataTransfer.setData(); should solve the problem. Once the element is recognized as draggable the browser will add a move cursor automatically once you drag. Of course, you will have to remove all other cursor: move declarations to see the cursor changing while dragging.
Minimal example:
document.getElementById('target').addEventListener('dragstart', function (event) {
event.dataTransfer.setData( 'text/plain', '' );
}.bind(this));
If you still want to change the icon (e.g. to use a custom drag icon), you could access the element style using event.target.style.cursor.

Using Mouse Drag To Control Background Position

I want to use the 'mouse's drag' to drag a background's position around, inside a box.
The CSS:
.filmmakers #map {
width : 920px;
height : 500px;
margin-top : 50px;
margin-left : 38px;
border : 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);
cursor : move;
overflow : hidden;
background-image : url('WorldMap.png');
background-repeat : no-repeat;
}
The html:
<div id = "map" src = "WorldMap.png" onmousedown = "MouseMove(this)"> </div>
The Javascript:
function MouseMove (e) {
var x = e.clientX;
var y = e.clientY;
e.style.backgroundPositionX = x + 'px';
e.style.backgroundPositionY = y + 'px';
e.style.cursor = "move";
}
Nothing happens, no errors, no warnings, nothing... I have tried lots of things: an absolutely positioned image inside a div (you can guess why that didn't work), A draggable div inside a div with a background image, a table with drag and drop, and finally I tried this:
function MouseMove () {
e.style.backgroundPositionX = 10 + 'px';
e.style.backgroundPositionY = 10 + 'px';
e.style.cursor = "move";
}
This works, but its not relative to the mouse's position, pageX and pageY don't work either.
A live demo: http://jsfiddle.net/VRvUB/224/
P.S: whatever your idea is, please don't write it in JQuery

From your question I understood you needed help implementing the actual "dragging" behavior. I guess not. Anyway, here's the results of my efforts: http://jsfiddle.net/joplomacedo/VRvUB/236/
The drag only happens when the mouse button, and.. well, it behaves as I think you might want it to. Just see the fiddle if you haven't =)
Here's the code for those who want to see it here:
var AttachDragTo = (function () {
var _AttachDragTo = function (el) {
this.el = el;
this.mouse_is_down = false;
this.init();
};
_AttachDragTo.prototype = {
onMousemove: function (e) {
if ( !this.mouse_is_down ) return;
var tg = e.target,
x = e.clientX,
y = e.clientY;
tg.style.backgroundPositionX = x - this.origin_x + this.origin_bg_pos_x + 'px';
tg.style.backgroundPositionY = y - this.origin_y + this.origin_bg_pos_y + 'px';
},
onMousedown: function(e) {
this.mouse_is_down = true;
this.origin_x = e.clientX;
this.origin_y = e.clientY;
},
onMouseup: function(e) {
var tg = e.target,
styles = getComputedStyle(tg);
this.mouse_is_down = false;
this.origin_bg_pos_x = parseInt(styles.getPropertyValue('background-position-x'), 10);
this.origin_bg_pos_y = parseInt(styles.getPropertyValue('background-position-y'), 10);
},
init: function () {
var styles = getComputedStyle(this.el);
this.origin_bg_pos_x = parseInt(styles.getPropertyValue('background-position-x'), 10);
this.origin_bg_pos_y = parseInt(styles.getPropertyValue('background-position-y'), 10);
//attach events
this.el.addEventListener('mousedown', this.onMousedown.bind(this), false);
this.el.addEventListener('mouseup', this.onMouseup.bind(this), false);
this.el.addEventListener('mousemove', this.onMousemove.bind(this), false);
}
};
return function ( el ) {
new _AttachDragTo(el);
};
})();
/*** IMPLEMENTATION ***/
//1. Get your element.
var map = document.getElementById('map');
//2. Attach the drag.
AttachDragTo(map);
​

This isn't working because you are passing the element "map" to your MouseMove function, and using it as both an event object and an element. You can fix this painlessly by using JavaScript to assign your event handler rather than HTML attributes:
<div id="map"></div>
And in your JavaScript:
document.getElementById('map').onmousemove = function (e) {
// the first parameter (e) is automatically assigned an event object
var x = e.clientX;
var y = e.clientY;
// The context of this is the "map" element
this.style.backgroundPositionX = x + 'px';
this.style.backgroundPositionY = y + 'px';
}
http://jsfiddle.net/VRvUB/229/
The downside of this approach is that the backgroundPositionX and backgroundPositionY style properties are not supported in all browsers.
You mention "an absolutely positioned image inside a div" which is probably the more compatible solution for this. To make this setup work, you need to set the position of the outer element to relative, which makes absolute child elements use its bounds as zero.
<div id="map">
<img src="" alt="">
</div>
CSS:
#map {
position:relative;
overflow:hidden;
}
#map img {
position:absolute;
left:0;
top:0;
}
Here it is applied to your code: http://jsfiddle.net/VRvUB/232/

This works 100%
Vanilla Javascript
document.getElementById('image').onmousemove = function (e) {
var x = e.clientX;
var y = e.clientY;

this.style.backgroundImage = 'url(https://i.ibb.co/vhL5kH2/image-14.png)';
}
document.getElementById('image').onmouseleave = function (e) {
this.style.backgroundPositionX = 0 + 'px';
this.style.backgroundPositionY = 0 + 'px';
this.style.backgroundImage = 'url(https://i.ibb.co/Ph9MCB2/template.png)';
