This is my updated and modified script, it works completely, except I would like to universalize it… observe the **** how can I make it so that I don’t have to do function(e){BOX.Draggable.elemen = e.target || e.srcElement; elementDraggable(e);
everytime I need to use the dragable function for a different element?
window.onload = addListeners; var BOX = function(){ return{ Draggable: function(){} }; }(); function addListeners(){ document.getElementById('div').addEventListener('contextmenu', menumove, false); **document.getElementById('div').addEventListener('mousedown', function(e){BOX.Draggable.elemen = e.target || e.srcElement; elementDraggable(e);}, false);** } function elementDraggable(e){ var e = e || window.event; var div = BOX.Draggable.elemen; BOX.Draggable.innerX = e.clientX + window.pageXOffset - div.offsetLeft; BOX.Draggable.innerY = e.clientY + window.pageYOffset - div.offsetTop; window.addEventListener('mousemove', elementMove, false); window.addEventListener('mouseup', function(){ window.removeEventListener('mousemove', elementMove, false); }, true); function elementMove(e){ div.style.position = 'absolute'; div.style.left = e.clientX + window.pageXOffset - BOX.Draggable.innerX + 'px'; div.style.top = e.clientY + window.pageYOffset - BOX.Draggable.innerY + 'px'; } }

Is jQuery an option for you? It makes what you are doing really simple since the code already exists.

JavaScript Code
window.onload = addListeners; function addListeners(){ document.getElementById('dxy').addEventListener('mousedown', mouseDown, false); window.addEventListener('mouseup', mouseUp, false); } function mouseUp() { window.removeEventListener('mousemove', divMove, true); } function mouseDown(e){ window.addEventListener('mousemove', divMove, true); } function divMove(e){ var div = document.getElementById('dxy'); div.style.position = 'absolute'; div.style.top = e.clientY + 'px'; div.style.left = e.clientX + 'px'; }
