It is widely used in designing a stunning website. It is an interpreted programming language that has a capabilities of Object-Oriented. So Let's do the coding...

Getting started:

First you have to download bootstrap framework, this is the link for the bootstrap that i used for the layout design https://getbootstrap.com/.

This code contains the interface of the application. To create this just write these block of code inside the text editor and save this as index.html.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
        <head>
                <meta charset="UTF-8" name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
                <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/bootstrap.css"/>
        </head>
<body>
        <nav class="navbar navbar-default">
                <div class="container-fluid">
                        <a class="navbar-brand" href="https://sourcecodester.com">Sourcecodester</a>
                </div>
        </nav>
        <div class="col-md-3"></div>
        <div class="col-md-6 well">
                <h3 class="text-primary">JavaScript - Simple Replace Paragraph By Dragging</h3>
                <hr style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"/>
                <a href="index.html" class="btn btn-success pull-right"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-refresh"></span> Refresh</a>
                <br /><br />
                <div class="col-md-6">
                        <div class="alert alert-info" draggable="true" ondragstart="drag(event)" id="word1">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor.</div>
                        <div class="alert alert-info" draggable="true" ondragstart="drag(event)" id="word2">Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts.</div>
                        <div class="alert alert-info" draggable="true" ondragstart="drag(event)" id="word3">The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.</div>
                        <div class="alert alert-info" draggable="true" ondragstart="drag(event)" id="word4">Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers?</div>
                </div>
                <div class="col-md-6" style="border:1px SOLID #ccc; height:300px;" ondrop="drop(event)" ondragover="dragOver(event)">
                        Call me by the old familiar name. 
                        Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. 
                        Put no difference into your tone. 
                        Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. 
                </div>
        </div>
<script src="js/script.js"></script>    
</body> 
</html>

Creating the Script

This code contains the script of the application. This code will replace the paragraph the draggable object when drop on it. To do this just copy and write these block of codes as shown below inside the text editor and save it as script.js inside the js folder.

function dragOver(e){
        e.preventDefault();
}
        
function drop(e){
        e.preventDefault();
        var data = e.dataTransfer.getData("data");
        var word = document.getElementById(data).innerHTML;
        e.target.innerHTML = "<p>"+word+"</p>"; 
}
 
function drag(e){
        e.dataTransfer.setData("data", e.target.id);
}
