Does anyone know why the following web site drag and drop examples (plus many other tutorials online) don’t work in Internet Explorer 9? Chrome, FireFox and Safari are all OK.

I thought IE9 was suppose to be the most HTML5 compliant browser? Especially with DnD since they have been supporting it since IE5. Do I have to change a setting somewhere?

The more I play with HTML5 and CSS3…the more IE9 lacks.

Does anyone have any links to DnD tutorials that work in IE9?

    Well i have encountered this same weird behaviour in IE9, it appears to be that IE9 wont do a Drag and Drop (HTML 5 style) on div’s. if you would change the div for a A with href=”#” you will be able to drag and drop.

    this won’t drag:

    <div data-value="1" class="loadedmodule-container" draggable="true">drag</div>

    and this will:

    <a href="#" data-value="1" class="loadedmodule-container" draggable="true">drag</a>

    Hope this helps anyone
