I googled around a bit to see how HTML5 dragging works, and I found that in order to get a DOM element to be draggable, you have to add the new 'draggable' attribute to it, and set it to true. The confusing part about your problem is that images and links are draggable by default!

I wasn't really able to test this well because your script throws an error saying your function smartdrag does not exist.

Though I'm pretty hopeful about this possible solution as it covers your problem entirely, and comes from a trustworthy documentation.
