Are other people seeing issues with script.aculo.us' drag and drop in
the latest beta of IE 9? I know what to do about this is a bit
complicated because it might be their bug. But we also don't want a
core feature like that not working when it gets released.

Hi,
we've encountered that issue in each of our products using scripty, drag & drop is broken in IE9. Our Quick Fix: Setting the X-UA-Header for Internet Explorer so it uses IE8-mode to render the pages.

Yes. After updating the Platform Preview to "version" 5

(1.9.7930.16406) today, I encountered that problem too. Not sure, but
former tests with PP4 didn't reveal such a problem with drag and drop.
Can someone confirm this?

Hi folks,
I was able to reinstall an older version of IE9 PP (1.9.7916.6000) but
it also raises the drag'n'drop problem. I start started debugging and
found the following (Prototype version 1.6.1, Scriptaculous v1.8.3):
script.aculo.us will start dragging only if you pressed the left
button (for sure ;-)). To check the the button it calls isLeftClick
from Prototype which calls an internal method named _isButton
(prototype.js, line 4290). This one checks whether the given button
number matches the pressed button number. The function is specific for
IE and WebKit-Browsers. In the IE-case it uses a LUT to verify that
both button number match, since the IE seems to have a different
button numbering (correct me if I'm wrong - I just studied the
source).
Anyway, the IE-specific solution seems not to work in IE9 PP. As a
quick'n'dirty hack I just removed the according code and... voilà..
drag and drop is working again in IE9. After reinstalling PP v5 the
hack still works.
I propose that a check for the IE version would solve the problem in a
more sophisticated fashion.
Regards
Steffen
PS: Note, that I didn't check if the problem persists in the 1.7
release candidate.

I can confirm that Prototype '1.7_rc3' fixes this problem. Nice
work. :)
