When the mousedown event occurs, add a mousemove event handler. When
mouseup occurs, remove it. The mousemove handler looks at the event
object to discover where the cursor is now compared to where it was
last time the event was called and does stuff accordingly.
Some browsers seem to call mousemove based on time, others on
movement. A good cross-browser solution takes a lot of time and
effort. There are many "draggable" libraries that use this method,
including Scriptaculous:

Some comparison libraries:
YAHOO! - big and full-featured

FORK - minimalist but functional:
