Cannot Move/Resize Dashlets in Internet Explorer 9

I am unable to Move/Resize Dashlets in Internet Explorer 9 (9.0.8112.16421).
This works OK in IE7 and 8 so perhaps this is an IE bug.

I was able to reproduce it in IE 9, so it is confirmed. We will take a look at it and see how this can be fixed. Thanks for the feedback!

I also discovered that after pressing the IE compatibility mode button it all works as it should; handy feature.

Yeah I still haven't quite figured out what IE's idea of "compatibility" is, web standards were established back in 2003 and even in IE9 they've still only adopted some of them. I'm not quite sure if IE means "be backwards compatible with old versions of IE," or "be forward compatible with modern browser features." However, I should probably end this post before this turns into a rant ; )
With that said, there really are some CSS selectors and javascript DOM rules that IE doesn't implement according to web standards, which does create limitations as to what it can do as a browser. However, if it seems to work in compatibility mode I would just roll with that for now. We haven't actually changed anything as far as the Jquery or CSS for the dashlets since we first made them ; )
