There has been a lot of feedback for these plugins, mostly positive, so thank you.
I have had a bit of trouble keeping up with issues and responding to requests in the un-user-friendly blogger comment sections. So I have created a new google group devoted solely to support of my plugins. Please direct all feedback and requests there, and you will receive a timely response.

The release of jQuery 1.3.x is a welcome update. As always the jquery team has made solid improvements to the library. The core event system has received a significant overhaul, with things like bubbling triggered events, an internal Event class/object, and of course "live" event delegation. The latter makes my own delegate plugin pretty much obsolete. So please take some time to learn about those new core features as I will not be updating the delegate plugin any longer.
A change in the jQuery 1.3 branch that I pushed for has been released: the bind data argument is passed into the event.special setup function and can be leveraged for setting configurable options. The newest release of the drag special event has 3 options that can be configured in this way.
// bind a drag event with params, update position
$( elems ).bind( 'drag', {
which: 3, // only "right" mouse button will start dragging
distance: 10, // require 10 pixels of movement before start
not: ":input,a" // don't start on form elements or anchor tags
}, function( event ){
$( this ).css({ top:event.offsetY, left:event.offsetX });
});
One of the core changes that broke these two plugins was the return value of the jQuery.event.handle function being removed. Instead the event object has a "result" property which holds the value that formerly returned from the function. Some minor changes were required to support both 1.3.x ad well as 1.2.x core code releases.
Downloads - jQuery 1.2.x or 1.3.x required.
