dragNdrop problem - after IE security update

Link can no longer be dragged to Favorites or Links

[erenshte]

One of my pages contains the following link that contains JavaScript and this link should be dragged to Links or Favorites:
<a href="javascript:void(open('http://www.example.com/AddToWishList.pl?'+location.href, 'AddToWishList', 'height=245,width=446,left=390,top=320, location=no, scrollbars=no, menubars=no, toolbars=no, resizable=yes'));">AddYourWish</a>

It works fine, but for some reason cannot be dragged in Links toolbar (in Internet Explorer). It was
possible to drag it several days ago and it works fine on Netscape. I also am able to right click on it
and add it to Favorites, but cannot drag it.

It was working fine several days ago, before Cumulative Security Update for IE have been installed (KB834707)
The known issue is that this update blocks dragNdrop operations for links that include non-HTTP URLs.

I also tested this link on the computer that doesn't have this update and it works fine.

It is urgent! Thanks a lot. Dr.Roman Erenshteyn

Looks like the update has blocked the dragging of this link as it is a JavaScript link. One solution would be to build the link using a server side script and make it a normal href="link.url" format...

Thanks,

But this doesn't work if I'm developing, for example,
asp, because the script contains perl module that
captures URL of the page visited through enviroment
variable. In this case, the URL of the asp that contains the script will be captured. I'm trying to
use same perl script: [domain...]
