A piece of text on my HTML page is framed with DIV tags.
While I want to be able to drag/drop it, I don't want it to be
selected, since it interferes with dragging.
I'd like to press a mouse key and drag it. Instead I start selecting
the text and keep going down selecting everything underneath. So in
order to actually drag, I have to Double-Click it first, and only
after it allows me to drag.
Do you know what I mean?
If I do
<DIV OnSelectStart=' return false;'>inner text i want to drag</DIV> <-
it allows me neither selection, nor dragging
What I want works fine with links, but not with pieces of text.
I need to be able to do the dragging of the inner text without
selection.
Is there any simple way? 2  20472 
what you can do is when the user presses the mousebutton (onmousedown) you
can select the text (using textrange objects) and then when the user will
move his mouse the ondragstart event will fire. an example of how to
implement this follows:
<style>.clsSpan Drag { background-color: yellow }
</style>
<script>
window.onload = function()
{
var el = document.getEle mentById("mySpa n");
el.onmousedown = function()
{
var r = document.body.c reateTextRange( );
r.moveToElement Text(el);
r.select();
}
el.ondragstart = function(){aler t("test")}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>this is a test <span class="clsSpanD rag" id="mySpan">thi s is a
test</span> this is a test
</body>
hope this helps

Thanks guys for your prompt response!
Etan - worked like a charm, people will love it tomorrow.
I spend the whole last night trying different tweaks to make it work.
-------------- Here's how it finalized --------------------------
<div style="cursor:h and;" id=myId OnMouseDown='Mo useDown()'
OnDragStart='Dr agStart()'>my bloody text</div>
<script>
function OnMouseDown() {
var obj = window.event.sr cElement;
var r = document.body.c reateTextRange( );
r.moveToElement Text(obj);
r.select();
return true;
}
function OnDragStart() {
event.dataTrans fer.effectAllow ed = "all";
return true;
}
</script>

Hello,
I am redesigning my website and would like to have the text scroll within
the webpage without the page itself scrolling.... if you understand what I
mean... ;-)
I want a very sleek look and would like to use little arrows that people
could press to see more of the text rather than have a very long page....
How should I go about that? I use DW3. Can it be done????
Thanks for any info!! ;-)

I have used chained selects to populate two selects. When the user chooses from first select, he is presented with the populated data for the 2nd select. The result is a list of numbers. The number varies with the choice made in the first select.
