/**
 * Defines the interface and base operation of items that that can be 
 * dragged or can be drop targets.  It was designed to be extended, overriding
 * the event handlers for startDrag, onDrag, onDragOver, onDragOut.
 * Up to three html elements can be associated with a DragDrop instance:
 * <ul>
 * <li>linked element: the element that is passed into the constructor.
 * This is the element which defines the boundaries for interaction with 
 * other DragDrop objects.</li>
 * <li>handle element(s): The drag operation only occurs if the element that 
 * was clicked matches a handle element.  By default this is the linked 
 * element, but there are times that you will want only a portion of the 
 * linked element to initiate the drag operation, and the setHandleElId() 
 * method provides a way to define this.</li>
 * <li>drag element: this represents an the element that would be moved along
 * with the cursor during a drag operation.  By default, this is the linked
 * element itself as in {@link YAHOO.util.DD}.  setDragElId() lets you define
 * a separate element that would be moved, as in {@link YAHOO.util.DDProxy}
 * </li>
 * </ul>
 * This class should not be instantiated until the onload event to ensure that
 * the associated elements are available.
 * The following would define a DragDrop obj that would interact with any 
 * other DragDrop obj in the "group1" group:
 * <pre>
 *  dd = new YAHOO.util.DragDrop("div1", "group1");
 * </pre>
 * Since none of the event handlers have been implemented, nothing would 
 * actually happen if you were to run the code above.  Normally you would 
 * override this class or one of the default implementations, but you can 
 * also override the methods you want on an instance of the class...
 * <pre>
 *  dd.onDragDrop = function(e, id) {
 *  &nbsp;&nbsp;alert("dd was dropped on " + id);
 *  }
 * </pre>
