How does onmousedown and up helps?

Don't they cancel out each other?

onmousedown tells you when they started holding the mouse button down.

The time between onmousedown and onmouseup is the time that the user
is holding the mouse down.

When onmouseup is called, it means the user has let go of the mouse.

No. The onmousedown gets triggered, they drag the mouse, the mouse is
released and the onmouseup gets triggered.

onmousedown="va r mouseIsDown=tru e"
onmousedown="va r mouseIsDown=fal se"

And then when the mouse is being dragged/moved, you check the state of
mouseIsDown.

Thanks for the advice!

Here's the script I've conjured based on your tips!

My idea is to have multiple selection of table cells if user holds the mouse
down and "drags" the mouse over other cells.

But now I have problem with "deselectin g" the selected cells. My logic seems
flawed here. (yes i know the html is malformed. i just wanna test out the
idea =) )

Any comments?

<script language="javas cript">
var mouseIsDown = false;

function md()
{
mouseIsDown = true;
}

function mu()

mouseIsDown = false;
}

function check(cid)
{
var obj;
obj = document.getEle mentById(cid);
if(mouseIsDown)
{
if(obj.getAttri bute('bgColor') =="blue")
{
obj.getAttribut esetAttribute(' bgColor','white ');
}
else(obj.getAtt ribute('bgColor ')=="white")
{
obj.setAttribut e('bgColor','bl ue');
}
}

An amended version. finally got de-selection to work:

<script language="javas cript">
var mouseIsDown = false;

function md()
{
mouseIsDown = true;
}

function mu()
{
mouseIsDown = false;
}

function check(cid)
{
var obj;
obj = document.getEle mentById(cid);
var bgc = obj.getAttribut e('bgColor');
if(mouseIsDown= =true)
{
if(bgc=="")
{
obj.setAttribut e('bgColor','bl ue');
}
else
{
obj.setAttribut e('bgColor','wh ite');
}
}
}
