 ## Drag'n'Drop algorithm
 
 The basic Drag'n'Drop algorithm looks like this:
 
-1. Catch `mousedown` on a draggable element.
-2. Prepare the element for moving (maybe create a copy of it or whatever).
-3. Then on `mousemove` move it by changing `left/top` and `position:absolute`.
-4. On `mouseup` (button release) -- perform all actions related to a finished Drag'n'Drop.

 The solution is kind-of interesting and just a little bit tricky, so let's cover it here.

 The problem is that, while we're dragging, the draggable element is always above other elements. And mouse events only happen on the top element, not on those below it.
