[Javascript] Wolter Zorn's Drag and Drop Script

[Terry Riegel]

Roger, All,

Thanks, I was able to sort of get things working with IE. I guess I  
will put off support for IE till later. I have a question about using  
other peoples libraries, and specifically using Walter Zorn's  
library. I think my understanding is limited here. I have  
successfully implemented Walter Zorn's library to do some pretty cool  
stuff with a Photo Album application. I can select multiple images  
(using a technique presented earlier for my file manager), and I can  
drag and drop them onto drop zones. It all works pretty nicely, but  
what I want to do is detect a plain old mouse click on some other  
part of the screen (to deselect my selected images), but I am afraid  
of breaking something, and am not sure if I should be looking at  
Walter's code (most of which looks foreign to me) for an answer. I  
think the answer to this question will go a long way to helping mold  
my understanding of OOP into something a little more useful.

Thanks for any help.
