# Drag 'n' Drop with greedy Option

## Description:

If this option is set to true (default) it stops processing hovering other droppables under the draggable won't be searched.

## Syntax:

    Droppables.add('element', {greedy: false or true});

## Example:

Just try this example by setting greedy to true and flase one by one. You will find that if you set greedy to false then you can not drop an item in drop area.
