It's easy to show the problem: on dragStart set the dragData["text"] to the dragData["text"] && "hello" --pass dragStart end dragStart No matter what you drag, it should get there as the data plus "hello". As shown above it gets there as " hello", a space followed by hello. If you uncomm

Merci, Eric -- My "on dragLeave" handler is in the f1 script, so it's triggered when I drag the selectedtext out of the originating field. The handler gets triggered OK -- if I set a breakpoint the debugger opens as my drag leaves the field. For my current needs I will always be dragging
