First of all I couldn't help but smile when looking at the URL. Several
years surfing so far and I had never seen the US domain being used :)
That said, on to your problem:
What you are facing here is not an API issue but a browser issue. The
big layer is the one where the events are captured. There is where the
API is listening for a mouse event. When you generate a mousedown, in NS
the event goes from the layer to the link. Therefore the API enters
before the link notices the event and can start the dragging.
In IE the event reaches the link before reaching the Layer, so the click
occurs before the API knows of the event.
You probably already knew that anyway. If I think of any one liner fix
I'll post it.
