This is my updated and modified script, it works completely, except I would like to universalize it... observe the **** how can I make it so that I don't have to do function(e){BOX.Draggable.elemen = e.target || e.srcElement; elementDraggable(e);
everytime I need to use the dragable function for a different element?
window.onload = addListeners;
var BOX = function(){
return{
Draggable: function(){}
};
}();
function addListeners(){
document.getElementById('div').addEventListener('contextmenu', menumove, false);
**document.getElementById('div').addEventListener('mousedown', function(e){BOX.Draggable.elemen = e.target || e.srcElement; elementDraggable(e);}, false);**
}
function elementDraggable(e){
var e = e || window.event;
var div = BOX.Draggable.elemen;
BOX.Draggable.innerX = e.clientX + window.pageXOffset - div.offsetLeft;
BOX.Draggable.innerY = e.clientY + window.pageYOffset - div.offsetTop;
window.addEventListener('mousemove', elementMove, false);
window.addEventListener('mouseup', function(){
window.removeEventListener('mousemove', elementMove, false);
}, true);
function elementMove(e){
div.style.position = 'absolute';
div.style.left = e.clientX + window.pageXOffset - BOX.Draggable.innerX + 'px';
div.style.top = e.clientY + window.pageYOffset - BOX.Draggable.innerY + 'px';
}
}
Is jQuery an option for you? It makes what you are doing really simple since the code already exists.

JavaScript Code
window.onload = addListeners;
function addListeners(){
document.getElementById('dxy').addEventListener('mousedown', mouseDown, false);
window.addEventListener('mouseup', mouseUp, false);
}
function mouseUp()
{
window.removeEventListener('mousemove', divMove, true);
}
function mouseDown(e){
window.addEventListener('mousemove', divMove, true);
}
function divMove(e){
var div = document.getElementById('dxy');
div.style.position = 'absolute';
div.style.top = e.clientY + 'px';
div.style.left = e.clientX + 'px';
}
