The following bit of code breaks in the upgrade to jquery 1.4:

$().mousemove(
    function (e) {
    defaults.mouseX = e.pageX;
    defaults.mouseY = e.pageY;
    });
};

What appeared to be a reasonable fix was adding "html" as the selector, ex: $("html").

The fix works fine - except now when the user mouses off the page, it doesn't register the mouse position beyond the boundaries. When attempting to use the mouse position for a drag, for example, the amount of movement beyond the screen is really important. Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
