Image tag as a drag copy source doesn't work in Mircosoft IE 7

[nackeyincali@…]

After I dragged and dropped a <image> as drag copy source, I can't drag and drop this source to another drop target in IE 7.0 web browser. But it work`s fine with Firefox 1.5 and 2.0 . If I have integrated a letter between the <span> and <image>, then I can drag at on the letter, but still not at the picture.

Code example:

...

new dojo.dnd.HtmlDragCopySource?(dojo.byId("modul"), "mod", true);

...

<span id="modul"><img src="abc.jpg" alt="A modul"/></span>

dojo version 0.4.1

IE version 7.0

The following (moderately tested) patch seems to cure the problem:

Alternatively, setting .ondrag = function () { return false; }; on the target node should work too.
