In IE9, the drag and drop functions of jQuery do not function with EE 2.2.2.  I would like to update to a newer version of jQuery JS and the UI files, but I need advice on how to do this without hurting the EE install.  What versions of jQuery JS and UI files will I need?  Minified version, etc.?  I know the issue is fixed in newer versions of jQuery, but EE is still using the version with the bug in it.

See this bug report for jQuery: http://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/5370

I am trying to use a few add-ons and they also fail in IE9 such as Structure and Low Reorder.  If you can help me update jQuery to latest version all will work.  I think these are latest version, but are these the correct versions I need?

bgarrant,

Looking at your jquery bug the fix is a one liner to jquery.ui.mouse.js

You could try replacing the version in themes/javascript/compressed/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.mouse.js

The original file is compressed but just see if replacing that file after backing it up helps first

I replaced the jquery.ui.mouse.js with the new jQuery UI Mouse 1.8.15 jquery.ui.mouse.min.js minified version.  I just had to rename jquery.ui.mouse.min.js to jquery.ui.mouse.js and then upload.  Issue resolved with IE9.

Just rename the new jquery.ui.mouse.min.js to jquery.ui.mouse.js, then backup and replace the themes/javascript/compressed/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.mouse.js file with the file.  This solved the IE9 reorder issue for me with EE 2.2.2 and EE 2.2.1.  I have not seen any other issues yet with just replacing the single file, but I am still testing it.  All looks good from what I can see so far.

Hi bgarrant,

I’m happy to see that updating jQuery UI did the trick for you. Thank you for sharing your solutions and methods! Please start a new thread anytime you need assistance.
