Thanks Gerhard,

I got the solution from WDVL.  I posted it to the 'ASP Web How To' list
where I posted the question, although this list would probably have been
more appropriate.  So here it is again, its really good, I suggest people
take a copy for future reference!

(With the following code, any element with the word DRAG in its id becomes
dragable)


var oDivtoMove = null;
var currentX = 0;
var currentY = 0;

document.onmousedown = pickupDiv;
document.onmousemove = moveDiv;
document.onmouseup = dropDiv;

function pickupDiv(){

    oDivtoMove = event.srcElement;

    while (oDivtoMove.id.indexOf("DRAG") == -1) {
        oDivtoMove = oDivtoMove.parentElement;
        if (oDivtoMove == null) { return }
    }

    oDivtoMove.style.pixelLeft = oDivtoMove.offsetLeft;
    oDivtoMove.style.pixelTop = oDivtoMove.offsetTop;

    currentX = (event.clientX + document.body.scrollLeft);
    currentY = (event.clientY + document.body.scrollTop); 
}
function moveDiv() {
    if (oDivtoMove == null) { return };

    var newX = (event.clientX + document.body.scrollLeft);
    var newY = (event.clientY + document.body.scrollTop);

    var distanceX = (newX - currentX);
    var distanceY = (newY - currentY);
    currentX = newX;
    currentY = newY;

    oDivtoMove.style.pixelLeft += distanceX;
    oDivtoMove.style.pixelTop += distanceY;
    event.returnValue = false;
}
function dropDiv() {
    oDivtoMove = null;
}
