Walter, Thanks for all your help with this. I was starting to get frustrated and moved on to other things, only to discover that prototype was throwing off my jQuery functions. I found a jQuery version of sortable that works flawlessly, and doesn't interfere with those other functions. I did notice that your static pages were fine. I am sure it was something in my code that was causing the quirk in IE7
