Ok, I had a mess with it, and i'm totally lost. I need the onclick event to fire when the link is clicked, and the drag should only happen if the mouse is moved while the button is held down (at this point I'd even settle on the drag just not working on the link at all - there's plenty of other stuff in the div for the user to grab hold of and drag). At the moment the onclick rarely actually fires.
I tried putting Event.stop(event) into the function in the onclick to prevent the mouse activity bubbling to the parent with the drag, but that just tells me that event is not defined (that's *when* the onclick fires and the drag doesn't steal all the action). How can I force the links to be the things that take the mouseclick - rather than it's parent? For the moment, I've given up and just made another part of the div the drag handle, so no dragging happens on or near the link - but it's not ideal - i want more of the div to be able to act as the drag handle - surely this can't be so rare a question, but I can't find anything in google to stop things bubbling this way around - it's all about stopping the onclick firing when it shouldn't (if only!!)!
