    /**
     * 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>
