Drag and drop and clone div element
<p>Hi I have some javascript here in which I want to implement a drag and drop function. So if i click on a div element and drag it across, i will be dragging the clone instead so that the original div stays there.</p>

<p>Below is my script</p>

<pre><code>var _startX = 0;            
var _startY = 0;
var _offsetX = 0;          
var _offsetY = 0;
var _dragElement;          
var _oldZIndex = 0;        
var _debug = $('.drag');    
var target1,target;

function ExtractNumber(value)
{
    var n = parseInt(value);
    return n == null || isNaN(n) ? 0 : n;
}

// this is simply a shortcut for the eyes and fingers
function $(id)
{
    return document.getElementById(id);
}

InitDragDrop();

function InitDragDrop()
{
    document.onmousedown = OnMouseDown;
    document.onmouseup = OnMouseUp;
}

function OnMouseDown(e)
{
    if (e == null) 
        e = window.event; 

    target = e.target != null ? e.target : e.srcElement;

    if (target.className == 'drag')
    {
        _startX = e.clientX;
        _startY = e.clientY;

        target1 = target.cloneNode(true);

        // grab the clicked element's position
        _offsetX = ExtractNumber(target1.style.left);
        _offsetY = ExtractNumber(target1.style.top);

        // bring the clicked element to the front while it is being dragged
        _oldZIndex = target1.style.zIndex;
        target1.style.zIndex = 10000;

        // we need to access the element in OnMouseMove
        _dragElement = target1;

        // tell our code to start moving the element with the mouse
        document.onmousemove = OnMouseMove;
    }
}

function OnMouseMove(e)
{
    if (e == null) 
        var e = window.event; 

    // this is the actual "drag code"
    _dragElement.style.left = (_offsetX + e.clientX - _startX) + 'px';
    _dragElement.style.top = (_offsetY + e.clientY - _startY) + 'px';
}

function OnMouseUp(e)
{
    if (_dragElement != null)
    {
        _dragElement.style.zIndex = _oldZIndex;
        document.onmousemove = null;
        _dragElement.ondragstart = null;     
        _dragElement = null;
    }
}
</code></pre>

<p>If i do not clone the target, the dragging works. If i cloned it, the dragging does not work. Any idea why this happens?</p>
