Drag events implemented with the X Library.
I threw this together quickly... so it's probably not perfect - but it should give you some ideas :-)
xInclude('../x_core.js', '../x_event.js', '../x_drag.js'); var hiZ = 2; window.onload = function() { xEnableDrag('d1', myOnDragStart, myOnDrag, myOnDragEnd); xEnableDrag('d2', myOnDragStart, myOnDrag, myOnDragEnd); } function myOnDragStart(ele, mx, my) { window.status = ''; if (ele.id == 'd2') xZIndex('d2Container', hiZ++); else xZIndex(ele, hiZ++); ele.myTotalMX = 0; ele.myTotalMY = 0; } function myOnDrag(ele, mdx, mdy) { if (ele.id == 'd2') { xMoveTo('d2Container', xLeft('d2Container') + mdx, xTop('d2Container') + mdy); } else { xMoveTo(ele, xLeft(ele) + mdx, xTop(ele) + mdy); } ele.myTotalMX += mdx; ele.myTotalMY += mdy; } function myOnDragEnd(ele, mx, my) { window.status = ele.id + ': Thanks for the drag! Total X movement: ' + ele.myTotalMX + ', Total Y movement: ' + ele.myTotalMY; }
I am 'd1'
You can drag me anywhere on this element or one of its child elements.
I am 'd2Container'
You can only drag me by dragging on 'd2', which is the blue element in the upper right corner.
