doing a mouse up event but stopping the click

is this possible?

I have a javascript drag/drop thing going on.

problem is that I also want to have a click event on the same button.

can I distingish between the too. right now the drap/drop works but the click even it still happening, I wish to cancel this event inside the mouse up event to release the drag.

I have tried a few things and nothing works.

Will this also allow me to do the click event?

thanks

Can't you do onclick='javascript: return false' and use onmousedown and onmouseup events for the drag and drop?

maybe I did not explain myself completely, here we go.

have a button, this button can be clicked and something can happen.

this button is also movable. you can click on it and drag it around then release.

what I want to do is be able to have this functionality for both.

so the browser can distingush between a click and an seperate mouse down and up

see it this way: you have to distinquish between a click (which is a mousedown followed by a mouseup) and between drag and drop (which is a mousedown, followed by movement while the mousebutton is down, and a mouseup).
Solution would be to track the movement after the mousedown (which you need anyway), and during that set some indication that the onclick should not be executed.
