Drag and drop to safari

Hey,
Im developing a java applet with "drag and drop" capabilities. However when i try to drag something on it in safari, safari just tries to open the files. It used to work, and when tried on other computers it does work properly. So some settings seems to be wrong on my computer. However im unable to find any such settings. Im still a rookie at using Mac OS, but havent been able to find any solution googling this.
In addition Chrome will simply download any filed dragged into the Chrome window. Only Firefox seem to work properly. And again, it works on other computers so its not the applet not working but some settings somewhere that are off, the question is where?

Thanks for reply!
Can't find any helpful settings in 'java properties', I don't think it's a problem with my java settings. It feels like Safari overrides the drop-property of my applet, I get the same cursor (with the green '+') as when I drag and drop files in finder.

Cannot drag and drop in Safari Maverick

I'm trying to rearrange a few of my bookmarks alphabetically but can't seem to drag and drop anymore? I am in the 'edit bookmarks' view.
Never mind. I seem to be having trouble with my Logitech mouse.

One more note, you have to physically disconnect the mouse also!!

Safari for Mac, webpage with Java applet, drag and drop area not working.

At my company, we have a web page that our users access to submit media files, (QuickTime, Audio, images...), for transcoding for delivery. The web page consists of a java applet, with an area that our users drag and drop media file into.
After updating to Safari 5.1.2, the applet will not work anymore. Instead, the browser will "open" the quicktime and play it, instead of allowing the Java Applet to do it's job.
CAN I TURN THIS FUNCTIONALITY OFF??
I read that Safari 5.1.2, (when it was initially released), broke something with the THEN current version of Java, and everyone was awaiting the latest update (build 1.6.0_29) to fix it. Unfortunately, this update did not fix my issue with the functionality of dragging and dropping media files into the web page.
It seems to me, as if, there is an over-arching functionality setting (or something) that needs to be either turned off, or in some other way DE-prioritized.
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for quick reply and help. I am able to drag multiple files but this is giving problem in case of filename with spaces like "abc def.png". Can you please put some thoughts on this.
DataFlavor uriListFlavor = new DataFlavor("text/uri-list;class=java.lang.String");
               Reader in = (Reader)t.getTransferData(DataFlavor.plainTextFlavor);
               BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(in);
               String uriStr;
               while ((uriStr = br.readLine()) != null)
                   URL url = new URL(uriStr);
                   String category = GalleryUtils.contentsPanel.getCurrentCategoryPath();
                   GalleryUtils.generateILPFromFile(new File(url.getFile()), category);
               }Thanks

Cannot drag and drop image from Safari to Desktop - drop location is unavai

Drag and drop an image from Safari 2.0.4 to the Mac OS X 10.4.10 Desktop does not save it. Console says:
"drop location is unavailable"
Control click over the image and "Save Linked File to the Desktop" works as expected.
Any hint most welcome. Thanks.

Why not simply adjust the link for the image in the Links palette? Certainly could be contained in an action, if need be for duplicating and exporting multiple images...

Captivate 7 Drag and Drop is crashing Safari in iOS7, is this a know issue? Is there a fix?

This is on an iPad 3, iOS7 version 7.1.1
The Drag and Drop functions properly in Chrome, IE9, and iOS6 so I'm assuming everything is set up correctly. The scene loads, then after a second or two closes Safari.
Captivate 7
Version 7.0.1.237
Windows 7

Though I would still like an answer to this question, I do have a workaround...
Instead of setting the target objects actions to Play Audio, set the actions to execute an advanced action consisting of two statements: Play Audio and Assign CpCmdPause to 1.

Drag and drop not working when uploading file using safari

why i cannot drag and drop any file when using safari , and what happens the file auotmatically open while i need to upload it only , extra for that , i cannot write any remark or fill a space while using website related to my work.
my work is to upload drawing files using dwf file to a website so the other parties can review and give me review , and then i reply to the remark at the same place and make meeting through the same site.
please any body can give any way to correct my mac.
latelly i installed win7 only to use it for that website , and iam now changing from mac to win whenever i want to work , this not acceptable to me because it is waste of time beside i like the mac and it working with other application but not for safari.

why ?
I'm sorry, but every OS is different. You cannot expect all features of one to be in another. Or alternatively, for similar features, be done it the exact same way.
It looks to me after a quick google search that winexplorer is basically the moral equivalent of the mac's finder to present the file system in different ways. The OSX Finder also has alternative views of the file system, i.e., icons, list, columns. Experiment with the list and column views and see if one of them are more to your liking.
As for winexplorer on the mac. I don't know if this simulates it or not but there is a program called Macintosh Explorer so check that out as well.
And finally, in the end, as I said in my earlier post, no matter what, nothing on the mac is going to change what I believe you think you can do and drop a file on a browser window and expect it to upload.

Drag and Drop from Photos app to Safari does not work (Regression to iPhoto)

Drag And Drop from the new Photos app to Safari does not work. This worked perfectly with iPhoto before.
I use this a lot to upload photos to a Wordpress blog. Is there a way to make this work again? Its a major regression to the old iPhoto behaviour -- at least for my workflow.
Regards

Use the Media Browser. This was written for iPhoto but it still works for 95% of Photos. It's the first option you want:

Safari Bookmarks Lost via Drag and Drop to Finder

All of my most important bookmarks vanished without a trace after I dragged and dropped their folder from the "Show All Bookmarks" screen in Safari 4.0.3 to a Shared Network Drive in the Finder sidebar. The Shared Network Drive was not connected at the time (I hadn't realized), but I received no error message that the bookmarks could not be copied to the destination--the folder and its contents were simply gone. I've scoured all drives for the bookmark files with no luck, and I confirmed that dragging other files (not bookmarks) to the disconnected Shared Network Drive gives an error message and no change to file locations.
Admittedly, this particular situation is somewhat rare, but it seems like a kind of shoddy black hole in the software: no alerts, no trash bin, no bookmark files to be found.
Obviously this is a perfect example of why one should backup bookmarks via Time Machine, MobileMe, etc.--but I really just want to understand the problem, and to see it resolved if necessary. Any ideas? Similar experiences?
Thanks for reading!

Thanks very much for your reply, Carolyn.
I tried a Spotlight search as you suggested, but found no file called "Safari Bookmarks.html," and nothing with a similar name. Would that be some kind of master log of my Safari bookmarks?
I'm looking everywhere for an alternate record of those web addresses (router, cache, cookies, Google), but unfortunately I empty my Safari history regularly and nothing else has panned out so far.

JQuery Drag and Drop Plugin Not Working on Safari 7.0

I have a website that uses jQuery Drag and Drop and it is working on Safari 6.0.5, Chrome, and Firefox, but it doesn't work on Safari 7. Any ideas why this would be?
In genearl Safari has a lot of CSS and Javascript issues. If there is a place that list all of these issues and solutions I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

More information would be great.
What type of site is it? WordPress? Joomla or Drupal?
What drag and drop theme or framwork are you using?
What version of software and theme, what type of hosting, what version of PHP and mySQL?
I'm having similar issues but details such as these will go a long way to grouping symptoms and getting to the bottom of the problem(s).
One thing I've noted is that in most cases everything is actually working. It's just taking an unbelievably long time. jQuery isn't the problem either. It seems more closely related to the quantity of available tasks on a given page.
There are forum posts for v7 that say Safari isn't compatible with WordPress for example. It is compatible and works just fine, but if you're running the latest version of Catalist Theme and their Dynamic Site Builder you can't do anything with Dynamic admin because all its options are on a single page which appears to be too much for Safari 7 to handle for some reason. Folks are having similar problems with Genesis, Headway Theme, Pagelines and many others.

Drag and drop .webloc to desktop - placement question

Using an iMac with a secondary display...
General:
• What governs the location of an item dragged-and-dropped on to the desktop?
• Is this user-modifiable?
Specific:
While doing research, browsing the Web, I routinely save links by dragging the favicon located to the left of the URL of the currently displayed page to the desktop. This seems to work for all the modern browsers I've tried. I've done this for years with no problem.
Until recently, the resulting .webloc file icon lands on the spot where I finish dragging. Recently, the .webloc icon won't go there; instead it ends up in the apparent default location -- which at the moment is the middle-right of my main display. If there are open windows over that region --and there usually are on my very busy desktop-- I have to go to extra steps to get to the .weblocs. This new behavior occurs in the latest versions of Firefox, Safari, and Chrome.
This is about dropping .webloc files on the desktop. Dropping them on an open folder continues to work correctly. Dopping an ordinary item (file or folder) from an open folder to the desktop also works normally.
Suspicion:
I recently moved the external display from the physical right to the left of the main display and adjusted System Preferences-->Displays-->Arrangement accordingly.
Bottom line:
How can I restore the usual behavior, so the favicons become .webloc files exactly where I put them on the desktop?
Note: I know that F11 puts all open windows temporarily aside and I use that. But it ought to be possible to place those webloc files where I want them without any extra step.
TIA

This problem was fixed by installing 10.9.

Drag and drop does not work in firefox 3

Does anybody has the same issue with firefox when you add a layout to the oracle composer and you want to drag and drop some components that it just does not work...
When i hoover over the title bar of a component i see the cross icon but the drag & drop does not work. WHen i do the same in IE8 or google chrome, it does work.
I have this issue for both oracle composer stuff as for sites i build in webcenter spaces.
We are working with the latest version of webcenter

WebCenter is compatible with:
* Firefox 2 & 3
* Internet Exploirer 7 and 8
* Safari 3.0
It might be caused by a firefox extension in your browser.

I can't drag and drop files...

Hello!
Out of nowhere, I can no longer drag and drop files on my desktop or within my Finder windows. I also cannot drag pictures from Safari onto my Desktop. I do not think there is a problem with my Trackpad as I can still move Safari windows and the like around the screen. I am using an Intel-based Mac Book Pro with OS X 10.5.8 Any help would be amazing and much appreciated. Thank you!

I'm having the same issue. I can no longer drag images from Safari (5.1.2) to Finder. I am on Lion (10.7.2). Has anybody found a fix for this? Having to right-click and "Save As..." makes me feel like I'm working in Windows XP, which is, needless to say, he11 of an unbearable kind.

I can't drag and drop user backdrops into Photo Booth. Help!

Hi there...just this past Monday I bought my first Macbook Pro, and I'm having a little trouble with Photo Booth. I know it's supposed to be easy to drag and drop into the User Backdrop 1, etc, but for some reason I've tried different files and they will not add into the boxes.
So far I've tried adding shots from safari, both by dragging and by saving the image to my desktop. I've also tried to add photos from my iPhoto but to no avail.
If someone can give me some help I'd really appreciate it. I've been searching online for the better part of an hour and it doesn't seem like this is a common problem.
Thanks!

Ok so I figured it out!
It was really quite a simple fix, and I feel ashamed that I couldn't come to this conclusion earlier.
Anyway, for anyone else having this issue, it was because I had Photo Booth in full screen mode. As soon as I got out of that, I was able to add pictures to my user backdrops without a problem.
Super simple.
I hope it helps someone out there.

I downloaded several tv shows on my computer and attempted to drag and drop to my iPod touch. I received an error message indicating that there was a problem syncing to my iPod. What steps should I take next? This has never happened before.

No longer able to drag and drop artwork off amazon

I went through and edited all the albums' artwork that iTunes could not find by getting the image on amazon and just dragging and dropping the jpeg into the info box for the albums' songs. However, this does not work anymore. Any idea what happened? I can drag the image to the artwork square, but it will not apply.

here is a user tip that worked for me:
try this:
you can add artwork by going these routes:
1) individual tracks
right-click and +get info+ on the file, go to the artwork tab and click on add. navigate to the image file on your HD
2) multiple items
select them all in iTunes, +get info+, copy the image out of Safari or Preview, click once into the artwork box and paste the image into it.
