MouseDown, MouseUp, Mouseout events 1

[ISPrincess]

Here is the background:

I have a datagrid in which i am programming client side events to enable multi-select or at least multi-highlighting.

Server side I added these 2 events in the Row_Databound event of the grid:

e.Item.Attributes.Add("OnClick", "HighlightRow( this );")
            e.Item.Attributes.Add("OnMouseOver", "HighlightRowMouse( this );")

The Code for the MouseOver event checks the value of a hidden input: txtIsMouseDown.

In the HTML I have a onMouseDown event which sets this txtIsMouseDown value=1 and I also have a onMouseUp event which sets txtISMouseDown value=0.

function CatchMouseKey(field, evt)
		{
			document.Form1.txtIsMouseDown.value=1;
		}
		function ClearMouseKey(field, evt)
		{
			document.Form1.txtIsMouseDown.value=0;
		}

In the javascript for the MouseOver Event, I check the value of this, and if it is 1, thereby giving the behavior of highlighting multiple rows as the user holds the mouse key down and mouse-overs.

This all works great until I access and click on the IE scroll bar on the right side of the page. This event must be setting txtIsMouseDown value=1 but never triggers the onMouseUp. If i click somewhere on my page the value is set back to 0 and all is well again.

Does anyone have any ideas on 1. what i may be doing wrong or 2. how to capture the fact that the user clicked on the right scroll bar?

I am a newbie, so please add some code sample if you have any suggestions.

In the HTML I have a onMouseDown event which sets this txtIsMouseDown value=1

On which element? If the mousedown event is on the document or body, then try moving it to be on the table or associated rows or cells.

Hope this helps,

As i said, everything works as is until i click on the Internet explorer right hand scroll bar.

Can you explain how moving it would help, I dont understand.

Oh, my lack of faith!

You were correct, that seems to have done it. Sorry to have doubted.

Thanks Billy
