How to make an element draggable via jquery not ui

Question

I want to use draggable feature of jQuery UI without actually using UI.

jQuery UI size on minified customization: 25.8 Kb

It doesn't make sense - using jQuery UI just to drag an element

Is there a small plugin/script available?

EXTRA DETAILS [The answer must fulfill this] : I want to drag an element vertically

@safarov Not if you already have a heavy site OR you want the site to be accessible to the people in Antarctica with slow internet connection — Suraj, Mar 26 '12 at 17:39
@gpasci That does apply to this question. I don't want to use jQuery UI — Suraj, Mar 26 '12 at 17:43
I was able to get it down to 8KB by selecting only the Core, Mouse, Position and Draggables to be compiled before download. — Ohgodwhy, Mar 26 '12 at 17:48
Read through gpasci's link... The answer includes code for a standalone plugin which answers your question — Kyle Macey, Mar 26 '12 at 17:50
@Ohgodwhy Sorry, you might be mistaken. That's the size inside a zip file, after extraction its **28.5 Kb** — Suraj, Mar 26 '12 at 17:50
@tunetosuraj But you should zip it anyway, so it will be 8Kb — Ruan Mendes, Mar 26 '12 at 17:53
@JuanMendes It appears that I can't zip the file due to server restrictions. — Suraj, Mar 26 '12 at 17:55
@KyleMacey Pardon me if I missed the link, can you link it here? — Suraj, Mar 26 '12 at 17:56
@KyleMacey Rechecked. It uses jQuery UI - check left column under Choose Framework — Suraj, Mar 26 '12 at 18:08

You could use this plugin (5kb).
