I have a web page where I have built a simple drag and drop

  • 0

I have a web page where I have built a simple drag and drop scheme. I have used user-select:none to keep the text from being selected as I drag, and set cursor:pointer to keep the text-select bar from appearing when the user mouses over text. Unfortunately, when they hold the mouse button and drag an item around, the pointer changes to the I bar as if they were currently selecting text. Is there any way to change this behavior? Thanks!

    Is there any way to change this behavior?

    Yes. You need to call prevent default on the mouse down event when you detect the user dragging the appropriate item.
