[SOLVED] attaching event handlers.

[bennyboywonder]

*edit* ok, this is a small part of a script from a tutorial, and when I move document.onMouseDown=startDrag; document.onMouseUp=stopDrag; outside of the window.onload handler (wasn't sure why he did that anyway) then it works. HOWEVER this only works when I include it in the main HTML document. If the script is imported via a js file, it doesn't work *edit*

 

trying to do a drag and drop script for my website. Halted at the very outset.

 

this just WILL NOT WORK.

 

help me here

function startDrag(e)
{
    alert("dragging started");
}
function stopDrag(e)
{
    alert("dragging stopped");
}
window.onload = function()
{
document.onMouseDown=startDrag;
document.onMouseUp=stopDrag;
}

ok. ignore this, I am a moron. I had previously already defined two blank startdrag functions as placeholders and it was calling them instead
