Thanks to Martijn, I've solved the problem IN NO TIME!
The funny mouse behavior in fact is a default drag action initiated by the browser under Gecko layout. Using event.preventDefault() solved it. Thanks to Martijn and all! Wellington 2006/8/24, Martijn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

It sounds like a dragging action gets involved in that case. So I think you want to prevent that dragging action from happening. > There's lots of Javascript involved, so I didn't want to attach something > before having any clue about where the cause could lie. Well, in general, you should show an url or example that shows the problem in order for others to get a clue of what the cause could be. Regards, Martijn > Any clues?
