on my page i have a draggable box (you can move it around the page) the problem im having is when you drag the box over text/an image it highlights it is there anyway to stop it from doing this? Also this onyl happens in firefox in IE it seems to work fine.
When you trap your onmousedown, if it is intercepted by your script saying yes, you selected an item, make certain you 'return false;' - otherwise that mousedown will still be passed to other stuff. If you are returning false, it shouldn't select. I'd have to see your code to be sure though - making sure that return works would mean knowing how you are trapping onmouseup and onmousedown. Have a look at this I did for someone else a while back: http://battletech.hopto.org/for_others/ag/template.html the directory is unlocked: http://battletech.hopto.org/for_others/ag You can see you can drag those around without selecting just fine.
