What steps will reproduce the problem?

2. try to drag the image on the drop target

you should see the image when hovering the drop target zone
instead the image disappear when you are hovering over the fieldset
the OVER message appears only if you drop it first

I don't see that at all (in any version of IE on XP).

I assume you are dragging the image with a pointing device (though it shouldn't 
matter if you use the keyboard as well). (?)

The DnD code is basically the same as it was when the library was released 
(save for a couple of fixed typos that wouldn't affect the presentation of the 
dragged element).  It's been tested on IE9/Windows 7 as well (and lots of 
non-IE browsers).  I've never seen any browser make the dragged element 
disappear as you describe.  Though I suppose if you add a z-index style to the 
drop target, you could make it obscure the dragged element.

Any additional information you can provide would be helpful.

i don't understand i can't reproduce it anymore
IE8 and maxthon 2 (IE8) were affected the 04/12
you didn't change anything since then?

Haven't touched it since then.  Hadn't even looked at that example in years.  :)

I do notice that due to odd padding styling in IE, part of the drop target area 
is transparent, which makes the DnD example look pretty sloppy.  I'll fix that 
when I have a chance.

As for your issue, perhaps IE was in the middle of some sort of meltdown on 
that machine.

Thanks for the report anyway.  Better safe than sorry!

hope that was on my end (probably not)
if i had to guess though id say it was an opacity bug
or maybe the bug is revealed only in specific cases (you have to do something 
before)

As for an opacity bug, it seems unlikely as the "ghost" effect when dragging is 
purely CSS (and unrelated to dragging over or dropping on a target).

I considered what else on that test page could affect the z-index (or any) 
style of the drop target (fieldset).  It's been a while since I've thought 
about that page and nothing comes to mind.  I'd ask if you were in 
compatibility mode, but I know that has no negative effect on those (or any) 
tests.

All I can figure is that it was a momentary lapse in rendering for that 
particular IE8.

Thanks again!
