need this translated to cross-browser

anyone willing to look at it?

This works fine in IE. I'd like it to also work in gecko (firefox, mozilla, NN7) and Safari.

I don't need it to work in any old Netscape.

var dragapproved=false
var z,x,y
function move(){
if (event.button==1&&dragapproved){
z.style.pixelLeft=temp1+event.clientX-x
z.style.pixelTop=temp2+event.clientY-y
return false
}
}
function drags(){
if (!document.all) return
if (event.srcElement.className=="drag"){
dragapproved=true
z=event.srcElement
temp1=z.style.pixelLeft
temp2=z.style.pixelTop
x=event.clientX
y=event.clientY
document.onmousemove=move
}
}
document.onmousedown=drags
document.onmouseup=new Function("dragapproved=false")

I got this far:
(NB: Replace all ¦¦ with unbroken pipe chars!)

getEventSrc = window.Event
? function(e){var targ=e.target;return targ.nodeType==1?targ:targ.parentNode}
: function() {return event.srcElement}

var dragapproved=false
var z,x,y
var leftButton = Event? 0:1;

function move(eMoz) // <- may need more info here
{
var e = eMoz¦¦event;
if (!(e.button==1 && dragapproved)) return;
z.style.left = temp1 + event.clientX-x + 'px';
z.style.top = temp2 + event.clientY-y + 'px';
return false;
}

function drags(eMoz)
{
var src = getEventSrc(eMoz);
if (src.className!="drag") return;
dragapproved = true;
z = src;
temp1 = parseInt(z.style.left);
temp2 = parseInt(z.style.top)
x = (eMoz¦¦event).clientX;
y = (eMoz¦¦event).clientY;
/* This isn't removed onmouseup
Perhaps it should be. */
document.onmousemove = move;
}

document.onmousedown = drags;
document.onmouseup = function(){ dragapproved = false };

..then I remembered that there's a very good and simple drag'n'drop script (+ very decent explanation) at BrainJar [brainjar.com]

If that's no use, I'll try and complete the task after I've woken up.

It now works in IE && FF:
(again, change ¦ to a 'real' ¦)

getEventSrc = window.Event
? function(e){var targ=e.target;return targ.nodeType==1?targ:targ.parentNode}
: function() {return event.srcElement}

var dragapproved=false
var z,x,y
var leftButton = window.Event? 0:1;
function move(eMoz)
{
  var e = eMoz¦¦event;
  if (!(dragapproved && e.button==leftButton)) return;
  z.style.left = temp1 + e.clientX-x + 'px';
  z.style.top = temp2 + e.clientY-y + 'px';
  return false;
}
function drags(eMoz)
{
  var src = getEventSrc(eMoz);
  if (src.className!="drag") return;
  dragapproved = true;
  z = src;
  temp1 = parseInt(z.style.left);
  temp2 = parseInt(z.style.top);
  x = (eMoz¦¦event).clientX;
  y = (eMoz¦¦event).clientY;
  document.onmousemove = move;
}
document.onmousedown = drags;
document.onmouseup = function(){
  dragapproved = false ;
  // added this - remove if any problem
  document.onmousemove = null;
};

Thanks! I'll give it a try.
