I don't see a way of posting a new thread, so I will reply to this very general subject title.

I would like to know how to enhance this code so that I can drag the rectangles that are in the canvas. Please notice that the background picture is a staff of lines and that the javascript in written within the html /html tags to make make the canvas get drawn on top of the background picture.
