That was avoided by canceling the "selectstart" event, and in fact
it's working fine in Internet Explorer and in Chrome. I just tried
Firefox and you're right, it's not working right in Firefox. I'm not
sure why you say that it doesn't work under Chrome, I wrote the code
using Chrome and it worked fine for me. Try emptying the cache or
something...
I also fixed the "clear" function, now you do $('table').dragCheck
('clear') and it seems to be working.Latest code: http://jsbin.com/adume/ I see another problem: since mouseup is canceled on the whole page, any checkbox that is out of the range indicated (for example "nono" in the example) get's reversed on a simple click...
