Internet Explorer 9 can't move blocks

A shot in the dark here, but I wonder if this has to do with the version of jQuery in use on drupal.org.

There are some jquery features that are broken in IE9 if the jquery version is under 1.5.1.

See http://blog.jquery.com/2011/02/24/jquery-151-released -

Also of note: #1085590: Update to jQuery UI 1.9 and #1067290: Fix jQuery 1.7 for Drupal 6

I am having the same issue, but I don't think it's directly related to the jquery version because drag & drop works using ie9 in the admin interface (check in the administration of menu items). Also, many forum posts are talking about big problems for drupal 6 and jquery 1.5, that's why I would rather stay with my current jquery version instead of upgrading to 1.5.

I am running drupal 6 with jquery ui 6.x-1.4

Any help on this issue would be much appreciated.

Having the same problem. It works in compatibility mode. Does it work in IE9 for anyone?

It also happens on the demo site (http://paris2009.drupalcon.org/news). I have the same problem, it works in compatibility mode. jQuery Update gets us only to v1.3.2 so I can't really check if a later version would solve the problem.

In my site drag and drop functionality is running fine in browsers like Firefox and chrome even functionality is performing well is IE versions 7 and 8 .But drag and drop is broken in IE 9.And saving functionality is not running in any browser.
I am using jquery UI module of version 1.5.

I can't reproduce locally. I am moving this to the infrastructure queue so it can be tested / noted if it's d.org specific.

@brianV: it happens to me on a site that is not d.o, I didn't even try it here.

I'm getting this in chrome and firefox too with a drupal 6 site. Very annoying! Can't arrange blocks at all now.

I believe this issue belongs to the Homebox project, it's not d.o specific.

Got the same issue only in IE9 , chrome, firefox and IE7-8 works fine.

Used 6.3x-dev beta5 with patch for error in JS (match)

Patch in comment below.

This patch doesn't work.

Edit: Can't remove the patch .... :-)

this fixed the problem for drag and drop in IE9.

I had to make changes to Jquery UI Core also included a new minified version of jquery ui core.

Didn't yet found another way.

The minified file you should use.

the Fix :

(function($) {
var a = $.ui.mouse._mouseMove;
$.ui.mouse._mouseMove = function(b) {
if ($.browser.msie && document.documentMode >= 9) {
b.button = 1
};
a.apply(this, [b]);
}
} (jQuery));

You have to rename the file .patch to .rar to make it work :-)

From my experience

This only work if you replace the file in #12 and you have jQuery 1.3.2 installed. jQuery 1.2.6 is shipped with Drupal 6. Easy way to get jQuery 1.3.2 is to install jQuery Update

This is NOT the best solution, but the only one I've found so far

just to document - jQuery Update does not solve this problem for me.

Thanks for your workaround, SleejR

Both IE 9 and Drupal 6 are outdated.
