THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! I have been trying for days to figure out why this wasn’t working in IE7 and IE8. I feel like I’ve tried everything under the sun, and searched for every possible combination of terms to try to find a fix. You are my hero!

Comment on The best todo app I’ve found by Scott Blaine

I’ve tried Evernote but it never “clicked” with me. Though, to be fair, I didn’t try using it for todo lists. I was using it as more of a digital scrapbook.

Do you use it? How do you like it?

I may have to try it out again as it’s been a year or two since I was last on it.

Evernote doesn’t stack up well as an alternative?

Thanks Keerat! I’m sure I’ll continue building stuff, hopefully some of it turns out to be cool :-)

I hope your job at Amazon is going well! We miss you at Gallup, but I know that that was a fantastic opportunity for you.

You’re welcome! Glad you found it useful.

I agree that it’s unfortunate that it hasn’t been fixed. Sadly I don’t know enough about the internal workings of jQuery to be able to submit a patch. Maybe there’s another way to achieve what you’re looking for though. I’m sure you’ll think of something :-)

Thank you for this. I’ve been trying to get this to work for FOREVER and i could never figure out what it was.

it’s unfortunate that this hasnt been fixed, because the functionality i have designed makes it difficult to just simply click on the object with draggable. My goal: click on the draggable object and open a dialog asking to do options with it (open, edit, delete). Then, the dragging is for moving it to a different folder. This is no longer possible in IE. :(

Comment on Installing MongoDB on Windows 7 by Scott

Not sure about that. You might want to check that you’re installing and/or running the service as an administrator.

This link might help too:

(short version: when you’re installing, run the command prompt as an administrator)
