not 100% sure....but the text could be in a div and the div could have somehting along the lines of....

onFocus(this.blur;);  of course that may stop you from dragging it as well ;-)

  Subject: SOT: More drag and drop

  Ok, I know this is off topic, but the previous questions about the
  onDrag and onDrop events got me curious and since most government
  employees (my customers) are off today, I'm kinda piddling around with
  some ideas.  With that said, I got some onDrag and onDrop events working
  with images dropping one on another.  However, I can't seem to get it to
  work with text unless I select the text and then drag the selection.
  I'm basically trying to make a webmail program along the lines of what
  Microsoft did with the new Outlook Web Access where you can select a
  message from the list (From, Date, Subject) and drag it to a folder and
  have it move.  I think the basic problem is that any time I click to
  drag, it selects the text.  Anyone have any ideas on how to make the
  text so it's non-selectable or some way to make this work?  I would
  appreciate any ideas that you would have.
