Is html5 drag and drop broken on safari browser for windows?

Question

Is html5 drag and drop broken on safari browser for windows ? If so, are there any work arounds ?

I'm using Safari 5.1.2 on Windows 7 and the drop targets always show up as non droppable. Tried this on 2 different windows 7 computers with clean install and latest setup.

Tried with both this demo and my own code which works on every other latest browser.

Answer 1

Indeed D&D for Safari doesn't work.

Kind of work around for Safari:

Put the logic in the 'dragend' event of the draggable object
Instead in the 'drop' event of the dropping on object.

Answer 2

Yes. After a lot of self-doubt, experimentation, and research, I can say that it is definitely broken for me too (Safari 5.1.7 on Windows) as at today: 15 Nov 2012. This has been quite confusing and distressing!

Hope Apple comes to the party soon.
