Move Element FAQ

Does this generate the CSS for the new position?

No — it is a fast way to evaluate an idea visually. Once you know the arrangement you want, implement it properly in your stylesheet or template.

Why did the page jump when I dragged something?

Removing an element from the normal document flow reflows everything after it. That reflow is useful information: it shows how much the layout depends on that element's position.

Can I move an element into a different container?

Dragging repositions the element visually so you can judge the idea. Reparenting it properly is a template change, which is the step to take once you know the arrangement works.
