It's an annoying combination of returning false from some event handlers, and true from some others. I forget, to be honest. I usually just fiddle with return values until IE ignores clicks and drags.

well i almost got it right....
i'm running a modified version of bratta's windows script
but i have them loading different html inside
now everything works perfectly untill i have one dragable movable frameset loading inside a iframe in a dragable layer
once i move that all the image get selected......
any idea or rule that i should follow to fix that?
i'm only intrested in IE as the site is going to be IE only

thx

Ultra, do you have a link so we can see it in action?

This one is always a monster pain in the ass, but basically the trick I use is to create an "onmousedown=StartE;" rule, where the StartE() function sets a couple needed variables and then ends with a "return false;". I know there's probably a more proper and elegant way to handle this, but this will work in most browsers you need to worry about. Careful, if you put too much logic in this function before you trigger the 'return false', then the drag & drop functionality might have time to trigger, and you'll be bumming.
