Image drag disable?

[NickHowell]

OK, here's my problem. I'm doing the stand dynamic web page where you can click and drag objects around on the web page using absolute positioning. I can do this fine with DIV's but when I attempt to apply the same technique to IMG's I have a problem. In IE6, when you click and drag on an image a circle-slash icon popsup and you lose your drag. So what my problem is, is that I can click the image, drag it for a little ways and then the circle-slash icon pops up and I lose the drag. Is there someway around this?
Thanks,
Nick

put the image in a div

Yeah, I've considered that before but that means I will have to completely change my code because then I'd have to resize the picture inside the div and the other objects don't have that. Oh well! I guess everything's gotta change sooner or later. Thanks!

I use the method used in the following url to do drap drop, its for ie5 i think and its relatively simple, the example uses iframes but you can use any element

Even the microsoft example of image drag drop has the circle withthe slash thru it:

Thanks, but that is no help to me at all. I tried disabling the said methods in the Microsoft example but it didn't work. And I tried putting it in a div but that didn't work either. So why does this example work:
