how to automate the drag and drop functionality in selenium rc

Question

I am trying to automate a drag and drop functionality in selenium rc, i am not sure of there is a drag and drop method in the selenium api, any idea please on how such a test can be performed.

Thank you

Answer 1

For Selenium RC,

selenium.mouseMove("<sourceLocator>");
selenium.mouseDown("<sourceLocator>");
selenium.mouseMove("<destinationLocator>");
selenium.mouseUp("<destinationLocator>");

Here is the link to it. It will be better if you start using Selenium Webdriver instead of RC, since it is officially deprecated.

Answer 2

I don't know how it works in java, but in js it works in such way

driver.actions().dragAndDrop(source, target).perform();

This link may help to write same code in java =)
