The HTMLImgEvents2::ondragstart event is the first to fire when the user starts to drag the mouse.

Source events use the IHTMLDataTransfer::setData method of the dataTransfer object to provide information about data being transferred. Source events include HTMLImgEvents2::ondragstart, HTMLImgEvents2::ondrag, and HTMLImgEvents2::ondragend.
