[Kavita Parab]

Drag and drop feature for confluence 4.1 does not work as google gears is pulled off. Its being a very useful feature, are there any plans to provide any alternative for the same?

I'm using the latest Google Chrome browser ver. 22. I still can't get it to work. Where do I look next for the problem.

If you are using a browser such as Safari, Chrome or Firefox, then drag and drop works using the drag-and-drop functionality of HTML5.

Drag and Drop is not supported in IE9 - this is because IE9 does not support the HTML drag api. This is a limitation of the browser.

If you already have Google gears installed, then it should continue to work. Unfortunately it is no longer available for installation.

The release of IE10 with HTML5 support should solve this problem for IE users.
