Making a scrollbar: The draggable button either selects the text, drags the image, or selects all elements on page

Making a scrollbar: The draggable button either selects the text, drags the image, or selects all elements on page

I have a scrollbar that I programmed. It is just like a scrollbar in a browser - click on the scroller and while holding the left mouse button you drag the scroller to move the window.

These are the issues I am having:

- if the target I use to be the scroller draggable target is an image, the image when clicked and dragged will be dragged as if I was trying to pull the image onto my desktop to be copied.

- if the target I use to be the scroller draggable target is text within a div, then sometimes it will select the text as if I was selecting to copy/paste

- sometimes while dragging the div as a scrollbar, the speed of my mouse will 'beat' the REPEATED CLICK speed (and it is set very fast) and I will "DROP" the scroller.

- Also when dropping the scroller, the page will select EVERYTHING as if I am trying to select all of the content in the page (SELECT ALL) and everything turns blue.

Any ideas for how to get around this??

Another approach for a scroller perhaps??

Thanks
