title: Is javascript / HTML5 capable of supporting "flash like" animation and drag and drop
body: <p>With apple browsers not supporting flash or silverlight, there is a real incentive to avoid flash / silverlight to avoid losing that audience when building a web site.  That being said there is certain functionality that it seems like you can only really do in flash / silverlight</p>
  
  <p>for example <a href="http://www.dailyfreegames.com/flash/dress-up-games/princess.html" rel="noreferrer">alot of simple games where you can move things on the screen like this site</a> all seem to be built in flash. also, <a href="http://www.sweetdressupgames.com/play/sunny-look-dress-up" rel="noreferrer">a lot of drag and drop functionality where you can drag one object onto another like these game site</a>s.
    After lots of searching I can't find any that are not either flash or silverlight based.  </p>
  
  <p>In particular i am looking for drag and drop support of one element onto another</p>
  
  <p>my question is if you need this type of functionality is javascript / html 5 able to do this type of stuff (so you can support iphone / ipad) or are you out of luck.</p>
  
  <p>is there any resource that highlight examples or suggestions of trying to do this type of interactive functionality and how / if you can do this type of stuff without silverlight / flash.  also, if anyone has any good examples of existing site who are doing that today that would be great as well.</p>
