dragstart interferes with click events on the same element

[Lee Henson]

I have a table with a column on which I am using the jQuery plugin
"jeditable" to add simple inline editing. It works by receiving a
double-click event, and then replacing the normal contents of the cell
with a text input. When the user triggers a blur event by tab-ing off
the input or clicking somewhere else on the screen, the input is
hidden and the cell contents refreshed with the input contents.

Also on this table I am using jmvc drag/drop, to support reordering of
rows. However, when I add a 'dragstart' event handler, the onblur
functionality of jeditable is disabled. I've tracked it down to the
mousedown function in drag.js, specifically the line which calls
params.event.prevent_default(). When I comment it out jeditable works
normally, but dragging causes text elements to be highlighted under
the cursor. I am guessing that is the reason prevent_default() is
there?

Is there an alternative way of preventing drag highlighting - I know
you can do stuff like onselectstart/MozUserSelect/KhtmlUserSelect but
that's all a bit a pain compared with prevent_default(). Any other
ideas?

Ugly: manually route event to jeditable. A callback which gets called instead of always doing prevent_default().

I'm not sure if I am saying the same thing, but is it possible to have drag start call the blur function?

If those other options can work cross browser, that's even better ... but I think this is something to think about for 2.0.  I'm not sure if you noticed, there is a 1.5 branch everyone is updating from now.

Works on FF, Safari. Not sure about IE because I've other IE issues
preventing me using that part of my page at the moment.
