I don't understand it.What i have to do is drag some text from a text file to a div section of my page.Here i will call a javascript function which will parse the text and put it in some text boxes.

window.event is not a function in FireFox.

Drag and Drop is a pretty common function now. You can get it via the Scriptaculous library or the Dojo library (two I have used) I am sure there are many more cross browser libraries that you could explore for the same functionality.

As with most other things it is often easier to first develop for a Non-IE browser and then get it working in IE.

The thing I want's to achieve is draging some sort of Address from a Text File
Then By the help of a javascript function parse that data and extract my needed info.

IN IE Following Works But How Can I achieve it in FireFox

function processDrop()
{

if(window.event)
{
var ClipBoardText = window.event.dataTransfer.getData('Text');
var broken_up_string = ClipBoardText.split(",");
var firstPart = broken_up_string[0];
firstPart = firstPart.split("\r\n");
var Address = "";
var City = "";
State = "";
for(var i = 0; i < firstPart.length -1; i++)
{
Address = Address + firstPart[i] + "\r\n";
if(i == firstPart.length - 2)
{
City = firstPart[i+1];
}
}

var secondPart = broken_up_stringnt;
alert("Address is " + Address);
alert("City is " + City);
alert("Rest is " + secondPart);
}
return false;
}


<div id="layer1" style="height: 200px; width: 200px; border: 1px black solid;" ondragover="javascript:return false;"
ondragenter="javascript:return false;" ondrop="javascriptrocessDrop();">
</div>
