        <title>jQuery Droppable Sample</title>
        <linkrel="stylesheet"href="theme/jquery.ui.all.css">
        <scriptsrc="jquery-1.4.4.js"></script>
        <scriptsrc="ui/jquery.ui.core.js"></script>
        <scriptsrc="ui/jquery.ui.widget.js"></script>
        <scriptsrc="ui/jquery.ui.mouse.js"></script>
        <scriptsrc="ui/jquery.ui.draggable.js"></script>
        <scriptsrc="ui/jquery.ui.droppable.js"></script>
        <style>
        #draggable{ width: 100px; height: 100px; padding: 0.5em; float: left; margin: 10px10px10px0; }
        #droppable{ width: 150px; height: 150px; padding: 0.5em; float: left; margin: 10px; }        </style>
        <script>
            $(function () {
                $("#draggable").draggable();
                $("#droppable").droppable({
        drop: function (event, ui) {
                        $(this)
                                        .addClass("ui-state-highlight")
                                        .find("p")
                                                .html("Dropped!");
                    }
                });
            });
        </script
>


Now put this code inside of form tag.

<divclass="demo">
<
divid="draggable"class="ui-widget-content"style="border: thin solid red;">
        <p>Drag me to my target</p>
</div>

<divid="droppable"class="ui-widget-header"
style="border: thin solid #008000; background-color: #FFFFFF">
        <p>Drop here</p>
</div>

</div>

Build and run the application to see the result.
