I solved the problem myself - if using a hack can be called that. I had already found out how to remove the selection after dragging was finished by setting focus on a textbox.
It has been written here in more posts that the IE problem was solved by adding one line with onselectstart that returned false. This event did fire (I tested by calling an alert) but the selection and the selection colouring/markup was still made. I expanded this solution by making a simple javascript function that is called onselectstart. The function sets focus on a textbox placed in a div tag positioned behind the map. The dragging works through this without problems and the rectangle is drawn so a user will notice nothing which must be the final goal. Not an optimal solution but one that works. If a better and more correct solution comes along it will be fine but for now it is ok. jorgenvester On 12 Jun., 14:03, jorgenvester <[email protected]> wrote: > I use dragzoom (http://gmaps-utility-library-dev.googlecode.com/ > trunk/dragzoom/) on this site: > > http://udvikling3.w11.dk/guava/TestMap/ > > As you can see dragging is enabled when the page is called.
