drag and drop object -- Please Help!!!

[Sparkmasterflex]

I am new with javascript as far as really coding it as apposed to Dreamweaver javascript. I am trying to make an object or div able to be dragged and dropped.

I have tried 3 different sets of code and not one of them has worked. I have gone through each word for word and the codes match with very little needed to be changed in relation to my html document.

Does anyone have an easy working code for this or know of a site that has a good tutorial on this topic?

I am desperate and would greatly appreciate any help or direction.

thanks

Maybe you could post an example of one that doesn't work? or a link to a live complete page?

Thanks again.

<style type="text/css"> .draggableObj { position:relative; } </style> 

<script type="text/javascript">

var isIE = document.all;
var isNN6=document.getElementById&&!document.all;

var bDragging=false;
var xPos,yPos;
var draggableObject;

function _mouseMove(e){
  if (bDragging){
    draggableObject.style.left = isNN6 ? txPos + e.clientX - xPos : txPos + event.clientX - xPos;
    draggableObject.style.top  = isNN6 ? tyPos + e.clientY - yPos : tyPos + event.clientY - yPos;
    return false;
  }
}

function _mouseSelect(e){
  var focusedObject       = isNN6 ? e.target : event.srcElement;
  var topelement = isNN6 ? "HTML" : "BODY";

  while (focusedObject.tagName != topelement && focusedObject.className != "draggableObj"){
    focusedObject = isNN6 ? focusedObject.parentNode : focusedObject.parentElement;
  }

  if (focusedObject.className=="draggableObj"){
    bDragging = true;
    draggableObject = focusedObject;
    txPos = parseInt(draggableObject.style.left+0);
    tyPos = parseInt(draggableObject.style.top+0);
    xPos = isNN6 ? e.clientX : event.clientX;
    yPos = isNN6 ? e.clientY : event.clientY;
    document.onmousemove=_mouseMove;
    return false;
  }
}
document.onmousedown=_mouseSelect;
document.onmouseup=new Function("bDragging=false");

</script>

and the html

<div class="draggableObj">such and such</div>
