WebParts dragdrop functionality within FireFox \ Safari and Chrome

Is it possible to get webparts dragdrop working within the above browsers?
And if not, why not?

My research shows that this functionality was originally introduced back in
a May 2006 Futures release but seems to have been pulled since then. Web
Parts is a cool technology but few developers are going to use them for web
based apps if different browsers render different interfaces to use them.

Further research leads me to believe that it may be possible to get dragdrop
within FireFox 3 (at least - no idea if this will work with the WebKit
browser engine) using the July 2007 Futures release? Is this correct?

Any help or advice very much appreciated.
Fingers crossed that 4.0 brings dragdrop cross browser compatibility
(although I can’t find anything on codeplex that gives me much hope)

Paul.

Hello, Is there any news on when and if Ajax will return the support for drag/drop functionality of webparts in Firefox? Unfortunately, I began development on my application using the CTP release which included this support. Any suggestions for a workaround, or an alternative solution? Thanks!

Why don't we see more WebParts being used on the web? SharePoint gets all the fun?

Hi, before I build something in it, I wanted to know if it's about to be replaced or if I should use something else. Also, does anyone know the bad points or things to avoid when using webparts? Thank you for any help.

I know this doesn't sound right as how can php be different in safari vs ie/ff, but i've been updating a genre list on my page to a tag cloud. When submitting the form using ie/ff the tag is sent properly, and the response is correct. When submitting from safari or chrome, the tag is sent properly (i've left the alert in place), and you can see that the variable is recieved in php properly, but then the query returns no results.

Setting the tabIndex property an element makes it focusable and attached key listeners respond. Or so it seems... This procedure works in - from what I've tested - IE6+, FF, Opera. However, Safari and Chrome (and perhaps others) fail to respond, obviously myElement.focus() can be called, but shows no further effect. One possibility might be a listener attached to the document, which then redirects the event to the "focused" element -...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
