Safari 5.1 broke HTML native drag and drop?

Question

Last night, I thought I\'d do a quick project to demonstrate HTML5 capabilities and to try some things out. However, I can\'t seem to figure out how to get drag and drop to work

Answer 1

Testing with Safari 5.1.7 Mac:

To see the drop event fire, you have to handle the dragover event and call event.preventDefault().

Here's the (quite entertaining) discussion where I found the answer:

I don't know if this really solves the question because the asker's site (at least as of today) does this. It works fine on my machine (as do the HTML5 demo pages). But this may help someone coming to this thread with this problem who doesn't know about this rather unintuitive implementation detail.
