I found a true Safari bug, and will be filing a formal Apple bug

I don't mean to sound presumptuous, but you make it sound as though
you're looking for problems with Safari, not trying to resolve problems
that you find.
Here's the code that works in all browsers except Safari:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--
function TEST() {
for (var args = TEST.arguments, i = args.length; i--; )
alert("args[i=" + i + "]=\"" + args[i] + "\"");
}
TEST("A", "B", "C");
-->
</script>
When I copied this code and tested it, as I suspected, it didn't work.
There are a couple of things I changed to get it working though.
First, the syntax of the for loop isn't correct. There are only 2
parameters, not the necessary 3. Next, I don't know if this is a
syntactical error or not, but Safari didn't like the semi-colon after
the i--. Now that I say that, it's possible that you have the
arguments out of order and are leaving the last one blank.
I always prefer to use single quotes in my JavaScript strings, using
double quotes inside the singles, where an actual quote should appear.
The last thing I noticed was that the length is one-based, while array
elements are zero-based. So to get the proper output you'd want to set
i=args.length-1. Here's the code that I used to do get this all to
work:
While I haven't looked close enough to see how Panic
(http://www.panic.com) did it, compared to what you're trying to do
with <div> tags, their implementation of drag and drop is, IMHO, the
best thing I've seen. The code is very clean, and seems easy enough to
understand. Plus, it doesn't require a plugin, which is a bonus in my
opinion. Also, I haven't tested it in all browsers, but the Mac and
Win browsers I have tested work great.
