205365 - ondrag javascript event handling

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 356295

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, enhancement)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021207 Phoenix/0.5

When one of the cartoons is dragged, the ondrag event is supposed to be activated.
What actually happens is that the image is selected. I know that this works fine
in IE. Is this due to an IE stupidity or a mozilla one?

Really sorry if this is not a bug. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to above web page
2. If it correctly informs you that you aren't using IE [phew!], click to continue!
3. click and drag one of the cartoons

Actual Results:  
The image is selected, and a cursor signifying "not allowed" is shown

Expected Results:  
The ondrag javascript event should be activated

there's no such ondrag event:

I think that this is invalid.

thanks for that - it is true - ondrag is not a w3 official event.

It would still be nice if it could be put in :D, however, being
as I have seen other posts with IE quirks in that people want, and
the general response being a polite form of "get lost", I won't be
overly upset if this is consigned to the CBA tree...
