how can I dynamically add ondrag event in a created span

Question

New to javascript, sorry my English is bad.

I call getpb() from HTML, this is what I want

<span id="drag1" title="teeth" draggable="true" ondragstart="dragThis(event)">my teeth</span>

This is what I have, I access array , I set the for loop to 10 instead of array length

function getpb(){
    j=1;
    var pbdiv = document.getElementById("pickBox");
    for (var i=0; i<10;i++)
    {
        var elem = document.createElement("span");
        document.getElementById("pickBox").appendChild.elem;
        elem.id = [j];
        elem.title = "teeth";
        elem.draggable = "true"; 
        elem.ondrag ? does not work
        elem.innerHTML = "my teeth";
        console.log(elem);
        pbdiv.appendChild(elem);
        i++;
        j++;
    }
}

You're almost there. You just need to add ondragstart event there

 function dragThis(event){ //TODO: Add your logic here console.log('dragging') console.log(event.target.id) } function getpb(){ j=1; var pbdiv = document.getElementById("pickBox"); for (var i=0; i<10;i++) { var elem = document.createElement("span"); document.getElementById("pickBox").appendChild.elem; elem.id = [j]; elem.title = "teeth"; elem.draggable = "true"; elem.ondragstart = dragThis elem.innerHTML = "my teeth"; pbdiv.appendChild(elem); i++; j++; } } getpb()

 <div id="pickBox"> </div>
