});

dayCell.addEventListener('drop', (e) => {
 e.preventDefault();
 const eventId = Number(e.dataTransfer.getData('text/plain'));
 const targetDate = e.currentTarget.dataset.date; // e.g. "2025-10-27"

 // Update the event in your data array
 const event = events.find(ev => ev.id === eventId);
 if (event) {
 event.start = new Date(targetDate + 'T' + extractTime(event.start));
 event.end = new Date(targetDate + 'T' + extractTime(event.end));
 reRenderCalendar();
 }
});
