onmouseover while onmousedown

[tspratt]

I need to highlight a drop target (apply a state) when the user mouses over it with the left mouse button depressed.

Is there an event or trick, or is this just a case where I need to set a global flag on mousedown/up and handle the conditional in the onmousever event?

onmousedragin is sort of close, but my drag does not start in the view it ends in.

I've run into this before - you have the right idea; use a flag variable to keep track of which state to be in.

So my flag idea won't work.

Back to the drawing board.

and do the x and y thing.
