Drag-and-drop stops working after applying MS04-038 IE security updates

Versions: 4.10.0.0 - 4.31.0.47, FAQ number: 122, Old FAQ number: 955

The MS04-038 security updates for Internet Explorer block some of the drag-and-drop functionality used by the tree in Edit mode.

Affected functions:

  • Drag-and-drop in Edit mode to copy or move a page
  • Drag-and-drop a page to the editor used by EPiFields

ElektroPost has a hotfix for this issue, where our drag-and-drop functionality has been adapted to new security rules invoked by Microsoft.

More information from Microsoft is available at Some DHTML drag-and-drop operations are blocked after you apply the MS04-038 security updates for Internet Explorer
