I need to disable "drop" functionality on some pages.

IE5 and 5.5 allow users to drag links and images from one browser window and
drop them in another. Is there any way to stop this being possible? Ideally,
I'd like to be able to apply some sort of handler to the style that's
applied to our <body> tags, so it could be quickly applied across a site.

My initial experiments haven't gotten me anywhere. Any insights would be
appreciated.

Thanks,
Robert Schroeder

Have you tried putting an onMouseDown handler on your images?

Can't do that, because many of them are links or have other functions
attached to them...
