 <p>as you can see <a href="http://html5test.com/compare/browser/ie09.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>, IE 9 does not support drag'n'drop.</p> <p>as you can see <a href="http://html5test.com/compare/browser/ie10.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>, IE 10 supports it.</p> <p>so unless you use IE 10 you are not able to use drag'n'drop in vanilla IE.</p>
