This page is still really invalid. For example, there is a close body
tag, but no open body tag. It works fine in Safari, but that's just
Safari being kind, I think.
Also, each of your form elements that you're sorting has a mis-match
between name and id attributes, and that's another thing that IE has
kittens about. If it were me, I would leave the name and the ID off of
the form elements themselves -- they're really not needed here. You
have them correctly applied where it matters -- on the input elements.
I ran the whole thing through tidy, and you can see it here in its
corrected state:

Give that a try on your IE, and then also diff it against your
original rendered source, and make sure that you fix the differences.
I know when you assemble a page from multiple sources or functions,
it's sometimes easy to lose track of all the canonical parts of a
page. But without a valid source tree, it's nearly impossible to track
down the browser differences, as one browser's auto-correction of the
DOM will be subtly different than another's.

Okay. So the Self-contained test you provided works just fine in IE7.
here's mine:
http://test.tpionline.com/Audrey/TPI_new_platform/dynamic_invoicing/test.php
It still fails in IE7 to allow the first element to be reordered.
Still not sure what's going on with it. I appreciate all the help!
Thanks,

Thanks for all the assistance, Walter. I haven't had the chance yet
to try the static page (Sometimes I feel like a chicken with my head
cut off!) But I will post results when I am able in the next day or
so. I am sure it's my code, as I seem to always feel like I'm
drowning when it comes to troubleshooting - especially javascript.
Thanks again!

For example, here is a Self-contained Non-failing Test:

Please try this out in your failing browsers, and let me know if you
are able to drag the first or last element in the list to a new
position. The sort order will update below the list each time you re-
order the list.

This is where the Self Contained Failing Test is useful. Try to make
a static HTML version of your assembled page at the point where it
fails. Use Firebug's inspector to see the rendered HTML including
any client-side modifications and use copy and paste liberally to
construct this Frankenpage in a text editor. Then confirm that it
still fails for you, and if it does, post it somewhere where another
pair of eyes can look at it. (Post a link here.)

I have been going through the page element by element to make sure
it all validates (it includes different files based on forms being
submitted). Still going through some of it, but everything so far
has been fixed to validate. I rigged it so that it was only
processing what had validated, and I am still unable to drag any
elements down. Still works going up, though.

Make sure that your page is valid before anything else. If a script
works in one browser/version and not others, that's a strong hint
that the HTML is being interpreted in more than one manner. Valid
HTML or XHTML is unambiguous.

Hi Walter,
I've got it to work in IE8 now - closing out a form and starting a
new one did it. And it sort of works in IE 7 now. I can drag objects
up, but cannot drag elements below any of the lower elements.
I'm sorting database results, identified by DIVS. Basically it's a
multi-line formatted result set that I want users to be able to re-
sort as necessary.
Thanks for your help,
Audrey

What is the HTML structure that you are sorting? Is it an UL with
sortable LIs, or another structure?

I have a problem with the sortable function in IE (I've tested both 7
& 8). It does not occur in Firefox or Chrome.
What is happening is that if a user tries to change the first element
of my sortable list, it does the following:
In IE7, it will not allow the user to change the position of the top
element. It is draggable, but will not move the other elements. It
simply adds a blank space at the top of the element list. Dragging
elements other than the first works just fine.
