The Sortable widget appendTo option is used to append the elements when the sortable elements are dragged with mouse.

Syntax:

$( ".selector" ).sortable({
  appendTo: document.body
});

Approach: First, add jQuery UI scripts needed for your project.

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css”>

<script src=”https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js”></script>

<script src=”https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js”></script>

Example:

HTML




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
