draggable without jQuery ui
Question
How to make a element draggable without using jQuery UI?
I have this code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function show_coords(event)
{
var x=event.clientX;
var y=event.clientY;
var drag=document.getElementById('drag');
drag.style.left=x;
drag.style.top=y
}
</script>
<body style="height:100%;width:100%" onmousemove="show_coords(event)">
<p id="drag" style="position:absolute">drag me</p>
</body>
The problem is that I want to drag while the user the pressing the mouse button. I tried onmousedown but results were negative.

It will be quite easy as you get the concept.
function enableDragging(ele) {
var dragging = dragging || false, //Setup a bunch of variables
x, y, Ox, Oy,
enableDragging.z = enableDragging.z || 1,
current;
ele.onmousedown = function(ev) { //When mouse is down
current = ev.target;
dragging = true; //It is dragging time
x = ev.clientX; //Get mouse X and Y and store it
y = ev.clientY; // for later use.
Ox = current.offsetLeft; //Get element's position
Oy = current.offsetTop;
current.style.zIndex = ++enableDragging.z; //z-index thing
window.onmousemove = function(ev) {
if (dragging == true) { //when it is dragging
var Sx = ev.clientX - x + Ox, //Add the difference between
Sy = ev.clientY - y + Oy; // 2 mouse position to the
current.style.top = Sy + "px"; // element.
current.style.left = Sx + "px";
return false; //Don't care about this.
}
};
window.onmouseup = function(ev) {
dragging && (dragging = false); //Mouse up, dragging done!
}
};
}
enableDragging(document.getElementById("drag")); //draggable now!
var ele = document.getElementsByTagName("div");
for(var i = 0; i < ele.length; i++){ //Every div's is draggable
enableDragging(ele[i]); // (only when its "position"
} // is set to "absolute" or
// "relative")

The reason why your code is not working is because the <div> will always follow where your cursor goes, and you are not actually dragging it. The top left corner will always follow your cursor, and this is not we wanted.
UPDATE
Now if you only want a grabber or something similar, just change this part of the script:
ele.onmousedown = function(ev) {
current = ev.target;
to
var grabber = document.createElement("div");
grabber.setAttribute("class", "grabber");
ele.appendChild(grabber);
grabber.onmousedown = function(ev) {
current = ev.target.parentNode;
Now you can only click on the grabber to start the dragging process.
