Hey!

I’ve made an app where I use images as buttons, which should be possible to click one and then drag the mouse over the other buttons, with the left mousebutton down, so that the buttons I run over with the mouse gets clicked to… If that’s somewhat a good explanation…

Well… This is working perfectly in Firefox by writing

```auto

<img alt="" src="button.jpg" onmousedown="click();return false;" />

```

Where the “return false;” interupts the mouseclick. Which is what I want it to do. This makes the image “not draggable” in ie. Firefox. But when I use Internet Explorer (of any version) it won’t work.

Does anyone know of a solution for this problem?

Cheers,
