If I perform a mousedown within a document, move the mouse outside the
browser window, and then release the mouse button, the document.onmous eup
event does not fire. Is there any way to detect a mouseup event outside the
document?
Also, how can I get the relative coordinates of the cursor while it is
outside the browser?
Thank you.

Hi Randy,
Walter Zorn has managed it. See here: http://www.walterzorn.com/dragdrop/dragdrop_e.htm
I just wish his code wasn't so cryptic!

You assertion does not seem to be borne out
by the way the code acts.
E.G. If you make your browser window 'little' and
put it in the middle of the screen, you can drag
the mouse out of the window on the right, the image
will keep scrolling (too the right). While the image
keeps scrolling (within the web page), you can move
the mouse pointer around the outside of the window,
when you enter it on the left, the script seems to
recognize *that* and the image which was still scrolling
right now jumps to the left of the screen.
That behaviour supports what Randy was saying,
the script is not aware of the co-ords of the
mouse when it is beyond the window.
It is a security thing AFAIU, you do not want some
script from a web-page able to monitor what you
do beyond the browser, that could allow all sorts
of nasty snooping.

On the contrary, it works for me.
If I resize my browser (IE6) to the middle of the screen, I can drag
something off to the left. While my cursor is outside of the browser window
completely, I can still move the image around (and my cursor stays as a
'move' graphic). When I let go, outside of the browser window, it stops
dragging. This was the behavior that the OP was asking for, I believe.

Hi Randy,
Walter Zorn has managed it. See here:
No, he has attempted to manage it. It fails, utterly, in Mozilla.
I drug the cat down, let go of the mouse outside the window, and even
while I am typing this, it is still attempting to scroll the cat down
even more.

When I see code like this:

I tend to stop reading anymore, as the author code such as that isn't
very aware of reality on the web.

Isn't is safe to let the mouse go inside the
window if the cat is drugged? Maybe not if
it's speed or coke though. ;-)

I don't think that's a fair statement.
Obviously, Mr. Zorn is not a newbie script kiddie, and to be so judgemental
of his abilities based on a snippet of code is a bit unwarranted, IMO.

I'm trying to print some text in a very specific position on a page, so
that it will show through the window of an envelope when folded.
This is easy to do, as long as the browser's print margins are set to 0,
or I subtract the width of the margins from the position of the text.
My question is: is there a technique for detecting browser print
margins? It'd be nice not to have to warn users to set them to
something specific.

In Firefox, if I click in the black box and then release, I get a
popup. If I click, drag the cursor, and then release, I don't.
Similarly, if I click and then release outside of the black box, I
don't get a popup, and I don't understand why.
If I comment out "document.getElemenById("demo").onmousedown =
mousedown;", it works. Why would that make a difference?
