[Dynapi-Help] A new wrinkle

[bob basques]

An inconsistency (I'll go ahead and blame it on IE)

I may have trouble explaining this, please bear with me.

This link works perfectly (with what I've built so far and what I wanted) in Netscape 4.76:

http://spatial.ci.stpaul.mn.us/dynapi/spatialHTML/drag5.html

What it was supposed to do, is allow for dragging of the image and still maintain the hyperlinks in the imagemap. Works great. I was a bit concerned about what to precedence over what, Hyperlink vs Dragging.

So, like the smug programmer I thought myself to be, I tested it in IE 5. Well if IE sees a Hyperlink, is seems to defer the dragging to the hot linking of the imagemap. Everything works in IE if the image is dragged from a non hyperlinked area, the centers of the streets for example. The Hyperlinks work too. I just am unable to drag from over a hyperlinked imagemap in IE.

Is this something that can be addressed in the DragEvent in DynApi, or do I need to place the imagemap and image in seperate layers, and toggle functions based on mouse events (drag vs click)

Thanks

P.S. This one almost sounds like a worthy question. I suppose that someone will reply with a one liner fix though and spoil my fun.
