Thanks for your Help… ,  
This function seems to be working fine:

```auto
const buttonPressed = e => { 
  result.innerHTML = e.target.id;
  holdTargetId = e.target.id;
console.log("const buttonPressed = " + holdTargetId ) ;
// dragElement(holdTargetId) ;
  return holdTargetId;
}

```

Error here line , 65:

```auto
dragElement(document.getElementById("elem1"));

```

And Error here , line , 69:  
I am trying call buttonPressed and Return either ‘elem1’ or ‘elem2’ .

```auto
  buttonPressed(holdTargetId) 

```

```auto
ncaught TypeError: Cannot set properties of undefined (setting 'onmousedown')
