i recently faced with the same problem. Here's my solution :)

    initDrag: function (element) {
        var moved = false,
            target = null;

        function move(e) {
            // your move code
            moved = true;
        };

        function end(e) {
            var e = e || window.event,
                current_target = e.target || e.srcElement;

            document.onmousemove = null;
            document.onmouseup = null;

            // click happens only if mousedown and mouseup has same target
            if (moved && target === current_target) 
                element.onclick = click;

            moved = false;
        };

        function click(e) {
            var e = e || window.event;

            e.preventDefault();
            e.stopPropagation();

            // this event should work only once
            element.onclick = null;
        };

        function init(e) {
            var e = e || window.event;
            target = e.target || e.srcElement;

            e.preventDefault();

            document.onmousemove = move;
            document.onmouseup = end;
        };

        element.onmousedown = init;
    };
