Please. I'd be interested in seeing this, in case there's a real problem
here that I just haven't hit. My particular case is a bit limited and
predictable, which I think potentially gives me a bit of safety here. While
I do want selection within the "body" of the box, the handle is an image
that will be spanning the full width, so if this is what I think, there's
little change of a select-drag occuring and leaves me safe(maybe). I figured
there was more here than I was seeing, though. *grin*

Hi there!
Since I'm writing the new draggables, I looked up many many solutions
around that problem.
It's a tough problem to fix text selection in a cross-browser matter,
because you have strange side effects. For example, if you do
ondragstart/onselectstart in IE, you select during drag if you do not
return false in mousedown/mousemove. But then, if you return false in
IE in these events, you cannot drag *out* of the browser window and
back anymore. It's a bit hard to explain, but if it has some need to
you, I can do a demo.
