Drag and drop elements from list into separate blocks

I'm trying to get a jQuery component similar to the one on this site.

Basically, there is a list with available elements that you can drag and drop into several blocks.

I have quite a bit of JavaScript development experience, but I'm quite new to jQuery, the language I want this to be scripted in.

Can you please lead me to some example similar to the one showed above, or give me some hints on what would be a good place to start looking for something like this?

 function dragStart(event) {
            event.dataTransfer.setData("Text", event.target.id);
        }

        function allowDrop(event) {
            event.preventDefault();
        }

        function drop(event) {
            $("#maincontainer").append("<br/><table style='border:1px solid black; font-size:20px;'><tr><th>Name</th><th>Country</th><th>Experience</th><th>Technologies</th></tr><tr><td>  Bhanu Pratap   </td><td> India </td><td>  3 years   </td><td>  Javascript,Jquery,AngularJS,ASP.NET C#, XML,HTML,CSS,Telerik,XSLT,AJAX,etc...</td></tr></table>");
        }
 .droptarget {
            float: left;
            min-height: 100px;
            min-width: 200px;
            border: 1px solid black;
            margin: 15px;
            padding: 10px;
            border: 1px solid #aaaaaa;
        }

        [contentEditable=true]:empty:not(:focus):before {
            content: attr(data-text);
        }
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="droptarget" ondrop="drop(event)" ondragover="allowDrop(event)">
        <p ondragstart="dragStart(event)" draggable="true" id="dragtarget">Drag Table</p>
    </div>

    <div id="maincontainer" contenteditable=true data-text="Drop here..." class="droptarget" ondrop="drop(event)" ondragover="allowDrop(event)"></div>

  1. this is just simple here i'm appending html table into a div at the end
  2. we can achieve this or any thing with a simple concept of calling a JavaScript function when we want (here on drop.)
  3. In this example you can drag & drop any number of tables, new table will be added below the last table exists in the div other wise it will be the first table in the div.
  4. here we can add text between tables or we can say the section where we drop tables is editable we can type text between tables. enter image description here

Thanks... :)
