Look, don't try to be obtuse with this. Control-C/copying has nothing
whatsoever to do with whether an object or a string is selected. In the two
basic browser models, IE/Moz, selection event handlers are not mysteries,
look it up. Dragging is something else that can be easily distinguished.

As is custom here over the past few years, we don't get engaged in
code/markup level minutiae, this is not a technical list in that sense.
(Though every few weeks I get asked off-list to help out with technical
dilemmas from folks here, and that's fine.)

Mind you, my initial response was that you could easily drag&pan a table or
a any div element in a designated space. If that solves the original problem
posed, great. The advisability of in-place editing at cell level of a table
while preserving drag&pan wasn't something I addressed as a solution to
anything specific. I have no idea what the full parameters of the original
problem are. I have no idea what the goal of this table presentation is and
what other contextual issues need to be considered. Let's not get carried
away.
