How to grab draggable data and append to another div

Question

I am trying to drag the data with the class of .draggable and append it to another div. Right now I am using an alert to notify me when the file is dropped.

But how do I grab the data of each draggable content to be used in any of the draggable events?

Any help would be helpful

example using text to append info // http://jsfiddle.net/breezy/7psw1s4L/

Here is my jquery

jQuery.event.props.push('dataTransfer');
        $('.draggable').on({

            dragstart: function() {
                $(this).css('opacity', '0.5');
            },

            dragleave: function() {
                $(this).removeClass('over');
            },

            dragenter: function(e) {
                $(this).addClass('over');
                //e.preventDefault();
            },
            dragover: function(e) {
                //$(this).addClass('over');
                e.preventDefault();
            },

            dragend: function() {
                $(this).css('opacity', '1');
            },
            // 
            drop: function() {
               alert('drop');
               $(this).append(dataTransfer);
            }
        });

You can store the html (data) in a global variable. In drop you can use the html as you wish.

var data = '';

jQuery.event.props.push('dataTransfer');
$('.draggable').on({
    // on commence le drag
    dragstart: function() {
        $(this).css('opacity', '0.5');
        data = $(this).html();
    },
    // on quitte l'élément concerné par le drag
    dragleave: function() {
        $(this).removeClass('over');
    },
    // on passe sur un élément draggable
    dragenter: function(e) {
        $(this).addClass('over');
        //e.preventDefault();
    },
    dragover: function(e) {
        //$(this).addClass('over');
        e.preventDefault();
    },
    // on lâche l'élément, le drag est terminé
    dragend: function() {
        $(this).css('opacity', '1');
    },
    // 
    drop: function(e) {
      console.log(e);
       alert('drop');
       //$(this).append(dataTransfer);
      $(this).append(data);
    }
});
