276802 - Drag and drop layer doesn't work

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: General, defect)

Description

[adyphp]

Firefox is the only one browser where drag and drop layers doesn't work. You can
try: http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/dhtmlandscape.html It works with Opera
and Internet Explorer but not with Firefox. 
 I tried also to create my own web pages with drag and drop layers using
Dreamweaver MX but it doesn't work on Firefox. I even corrected the Dreamveaver
MX javascript code in order to make it work like is anounced here:
http://www.communitymx.com/blog/index.cfm?month=11&year=2004&newsdate=11/9/2004
but it worked on Internet Explorer before and on Opera after correction, but not
on Firefox.

I don't know if this will help track the problem.  I found that trying to drag
and drop messages (from one folder into another) in Thunderbird 1.0.6 did NOT
work but the problem went away after taking Tbird down and bringing it back up.
 Because I am using a NetVista with Windows 2000 and "only" 64 MB RAM, I thought
it might be memory related.  (I am a programmer and wonder WHY the amount of
physical memory should have ANY bearing on a program other than speed, due to
paging, since Windows, supposedly, provides a 2 GB memory space ?!?!?)

This website explicitly states that this will only work in Internet Explorer. That's because it's using code that is designed for IE only.

That's also what the other website states, though they don't seem to be related, looking at the code.

FWIW, Firefox 3.5 will introduce drag'n'drop events as defined in HTML 5.

@Carlos Coquet: This is a unrelated problem and should be filed separately if you still encounter it.
