mouse up event not caught outside an iframe

[tnec]

Hi,

I am writing a Javascript program that will run inside an iframe (it is a facebook application). In this program I want to implement a drag and drop feature by adding listeners on down and up mouse events.

Problem: When I drag from my page to outside the iframe (or outside the browser window), the up event is not sent to my document and the program behaves as if the mouse button was still in "down" position. Do you have an idea to solve this problem?

Thank you

You'd have to write a proxy that passes mouse events between the iframe and its parent. I did this a while back for a GUI windowing system, and it was tricky but "do-able".
