Rails spinoffs - Mar 2006 - how to distinguish between click and drag?

Hi All

I have a sortable <ul> list where each <li> contains a link.
e.g.

<ul>
   <li><a>link</a></li>
   <li><a>link</a></li>
   <li><a>link</a></li>
</ul>

How can I go about stopping the click event on the link if the li 
element has been dragged?

Cheers
Rob

Onmouseup / onmousedown / onclick / onmousemove events? 


Jim.

Sorry I wasn''t clear!

If I drag the <li> by clicking on the <a> the <a>''s
onclick is fired as
well as the <li>''s drag.
What I want is for the <a> click event to be fired ONLY if the <li>
is
not dragged.

So, I guess I need to call an Event.stop(e)  from the sortables''s 
onUpdate function, which will stop the <a> onclick from occuring. 
However, the onUpdate function only passes you the element that was 
updated - not the event associated with it.
