Check mousedown on hover

[Thierry]

I need the user to be able to select various items by holding down the mouse button and the hovering over the items (drag).

Basicly, all I need is a check that verifies if the user is holding the mouse button down while it is hovering over the item, if it is, it will run the function.

I thought it was simple but I cant get it to work, though its probably simple.

 

Any ideas?

I haven't tested this, but you'll need to set a boolean type variable on the body element. When the mouse is down, you set the variable value will be true and when the mouse is over an object, you can check the variable value.
