* The actual effect that will be used, and should always be one of the
* possible values of effectAllowed.
*
* For dragstart, drag and dragleave events, the dropEffect is initialized
* to none. Any value assigned to the dropEffect will be set, but the value
* isn't used for anything.
*
* For the dragenter and dragover events, the dropEffect will be initialized
* based on what action the user is requesting. How this is determined is
* platform specific, but typically the user can press modifier keys to
* adjust which action is desired. Within an event handler for the dragenter
* and dragover events, the dropEffect should be modified if the action the
* user is requesting is not the one that is desired.
*
* For the drop and dragend events, the dropEffect will be initialized to
* the action that was desired, which will be the value that the dropEffect
* had after the last dragenter or dragover event.
*
* Possible values:
* copy - a copy of the source item is made at the new location
* move - an item is moved to a new location
* link - a link is established to the source at the new location
* none - the item may not be dropped
*
* Assigning any other value has no effect and retains the old value.

* link - a link is established to the source at the new location
