i have an image on a webpage and i want to know when the user has a mouse
button pressed and held down on it.. and i want to execute some code until
the user releases the button

like a scrollbar arrow button

come up with it : \

Capture the onmousedown event for that element and do whatever you want to do
until you capture the onmouseup event for that element.
