To use jQuery draggable, you need to :

1. Include jquery.js, jquery.ui.core.js and jquery.draggable in your page
2. Declare a <div id="item">Some content</div>
3. Set a width and height to your div in your css : #item { width: 100px; height: 100px; }
4. Call the jQuery draggable() extension : $('div#item').draggable();

Of course, 2 and 3 can be done together:

<div id="item" style="width: 100px; height: 100px;">Some content</div>
