I am trying to recreate this draggable globe from Mike Bostock using D3 but as a svg version. Due to performance issues while dragging I am re-rendering the globe. So far so good. Now I want to implement a click event but it doesn't work. Here it is mentioned that the problem might be the re-appending. A mousedown event is working fine but interferes with the dragging later on.
Why is the mousedown event working and the click event not? Hints for restructuring the code to solves this are highly appreciated.
I created a Fiddle for better understanding: Fiddle
PS. I am new to programming and D3, so please don't be too harsh :)
