1. search thru the spinoffs lsit, there’s lots of IE drag/drop threads

[http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-spinoffs/topics?start=](http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-spinoffs/topics?start=)

1. give more info: waht do you mean it doesn’t work, and how are you  
trying it? are you dragging 
, make sure class names match with  
accept attributes, etc.

Thanks for your reply gene

it doesnt work means that i could drag the text but its not doing ajax  
call to action,as i said it does call action in FIREFOX and IE6 but not  
in IE7,am using sprictaculous draganddrop
