Thanks for the example, this helped me understand why you want. And I
think that what you want cannot be achieved. The click handler doesn't
care about the mousedown event so it lets it propagate. If the click
handler prevented the mousedown event from propaging that wouldn't
help you either, because (once the click handler activated) the box
handler will *never* see mousedown events. Try the following to
understand the latter:

// append these lines after creating the click handler
var clickhandler_mousedown = dblclick.mousedown;
clickhandler.mousedown = function(evt) {
    clickhandler_mousedown.call(clickhandler, evt);
    return false; // prevent propagation
};
