event handling issue with IE 5+ on windows but not on mac

hey there….
i’ve written a javascript program that allows a user to move images from one rectangle to another (i.e. a jigsaw puzzle type application)…
on mac os X IE 5.2 it works fine but on windows IE 5.2 when i drag an image the browser seems to think that the user is attempting to drag and drop/download….ie once i click and drag on the image it displayes an illegal operation icon (circle with the slash through it, i don’t know the exact name for that icon) and only allows my code to handle the drag once i mouse up????
my event handlers are defined as follows

<body onMouseDown=”hMD(event); event.cancelBubble = true; return true;” …etc>

is there any way to tell the browser to leave the event handling to me????
