I have the onmousedown and onmouseup working in the body tag.  But what I have noticed is that if I click on an image, it does the DOWN part.  But when I drag the mouse and let go, the UP event is not recognized.  The browser puts the circle with a slash through it as if it thinks I am trying to move the image, so the UP event does not work as it goes when no image is present.

 

Is there a way around this?

What are you trying to achieve, exactly? Not recognizing a mouse click when the pointer is moved is standard behavior in a browser. Just try clicking a link on a web page and moving the mouse before releasing the button - the link will not be activated.

I got around this problem by making the image a background-image instead.  But that created another problem that I just posted.

 

I'm making a canvas that people can draw on.  Right now, I'm still working on the nuts and bolts of getting the functionality to work.
