Drag Images

By admin on March 9, 2001

This code works great for puzzles or image makers.

Place this in the head of your page:

<style>
<!--
.drag{position:relative;cursor:hand}
-->
</style>
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
<!--

//Generic Drag Script- © Dynamic Drive (www.dynamicdrive.com)

var ie=document.all
var ns6=document.getElementById&&!document.all

var dragapproved=false
var z,x,y

function move(e){
if (dragapproved){
z.style.left=ns6? temp1+e.clientX-x: temp1+event.clientX-x
z.style.top=ns6? temp2+e.clientY-y : temp2+event.clientY-y
return false
}
}

function drags(e){
if (!ie&&!ns6)
return
var firedobj=ns6? e.target : event.srcElement
var topelement=ns6? "HTML" : "BODY"

while (firedobj.tagName!=topelement&&firedobj.className!="drag"){
firedobj=ns6? firedobj.parentNode : firedobj.parentElement
}

if (firedobj.className=="drag"){
dragapproved=true
z=firedobj
temp1=parseInt(z.style.left+0)
temp2=parseInt(z.style.top+0)
x=ns6? e.clientX: event.clientX
y=ns6? e.clientY: event.clientY
document.onmousemove=move
return false
}
}
document.onmousedown=drags
document.onmouseup=new Function("dragapproved=false")
//-->
</script>

Use this code to link your images you would like to be draggable:
