Drag Drop on IE9 like skydrive - drag-and-drop

Hi i've been looking for away to drag drop file upload. I know it possible to use html 5 file API to do this on other browser like chrome but not on IE 9. However i noticed that you can drag drop upload on the Sky-drive site using IE 9.
I was just wondering what they used to do this? I've got a feeling it might be silver-light but could be totally wrong.
If anyone could give me an insight that would be great thanks.

SkyDrive works with Silverlight, or uses HTML5 when available (Internet Explorer 10, Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari).
Since IE9 does not support HTML5, SkyDrive uses Silverlight on that browser.

Will HTML5 drag and drop work in a Google Apps Script HtmlService?

I'm messing around with creating a user interface for a Google Apps Script project using an HTML Service, and I've had a request to include drag and drop functionality in this project. I know that there are limitations on these HTML services (I have scoured this document, and it looks like it's saying that native HTML5 drag and drop isn't supported: Google Apps Script HTML Service Restrictions). Even though the new HTML5 API's aren't officially supported, is there a way I can get drag and drop to work? If not through native HTML5, through an external javascript Library? Or will Caja break the functionality?
My first few attempts haven't worked, so I figured I'd jump on here and see if anyone has any success getting drag and drop to work though some method or another in Google Apps Script.
Thanks!
Does work correctly in gas. What have you tried? Draggable etc work just fine using jquery with htmlServices without any special code.

Opening link on an HTML page to a specific page of a PDF on an iPad

I've been searching for the answer to this for the past two days but can't get it to work.
I'm working on a web app built in HTML that is optimized for the iPad. One of the pages has different links to different pages of a 50 page pdf. I used the link on Adobe's site http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/link-html-pdf-page-acrobat.html using sample.html#page=2 and that worked in desktop browsers on Windows, but not on the iPad. I've also tried creating destinations in the PDF and linking to them, but that didn't work either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. The only real requirement is that no additional software can be downloaded for viewing. Thanks again.
Just remove the "=" sign.
So: sample.html#page2
That should work for iPad.
Those links work only with desktop versions of Adobe products. It might be possible for Adobe to add support for them in Adobe Reader for iPad in the future.
Just
filename.pdf#pagenumber

wwww.domain/pdffile

How can you test conditional CSS meant for an iPhone on a desktop browser like safari, chrome, or firefox?

Specifically, the "max-device-width:" condition
If you're on a Mac, you can use the iPhone simulator that comes with XCode. I've also used a Firefox add-on called "Modify Headers" and I send iPhone headers, however, that may not help much with max-device-width.
For mac or PC, if you can upload your files to any temporary server, you can check the results online in TestiPhone: http://www.testiphone.com/
This is a web browser based simulator for quickly testing your iPhone
web applications. This tool has been so far tested and working using
Internet Explorer 7, FireFox 2 and Safari 3.
The firefox plugin Developer toolbar let you change the browser size with just one click to the device size. I bet there is plugins like that to the other browsers. If you can't find that to all browsers then I suggest that you just upload your code to a server and surf to it using an iPhone.

Facebook like button doesn't work in certain browsers or on certain OS

So, I use the same fb-like plugin (fbml based one) code on 5 different pages on the website. The only difference is the different data in meta description and type of content. All pages were checked through the fb linter and it says everything is okay. All the buttons work alright in Chrome under Mac OS, but in Firefox, Opera (Mac & PC) and Chrome on PC (Windows) 3 of these buttons do not appear and none of them work in Safari on Mac. I can see that fb scripts are working some way, you can see the code with built-in developer tools in Opera or Chrome, and the element does occupy the space, but the button is not shown...
I've tested all the code in the pages including html, js and css line by line and it looks like it doesn't affect the fb-likes. I've also take the code from the page with the problem fb-like and make the new page with the only difference in fb-like href property - and it works. But when I change the href to the address of the page where like button didn't work - it stops working. So as I understand the problem is not on the website side, but since the fb-linter doesn't show any errors the problem is not on fb side either. But where is it then?
I've contacted the fb developers team, but I guess it may take them extremely long to answer , so I'd like to know if sombody had such a problem before. Any opinions or thoughts are appreciated!
Here's the website.
Thanks in advance everybody(:

Webparts in Blackberry

So far I have been creating Web Portal but recently I had a request to convert all the stuff into Mobile Portal.
I have created two webparts, when I place single or multiple webparts of same type it looks fine but when I place two different webparts then its UI gets distracted and it looks bad in Blackberry :(
The UI is fine with IE FireFox and MobileOne(simulator for Iphone), this problem is only with BlackBerry.
Any Idea?? I am using traditional .NET controls and framework to create Mobile Portal.
All three of the browsers you mention have a much fuller set of functionality than the BlackBerry Mobile Browser.
For the best results while targetting the BlackBerry Browser, you need to make sure your WebPart page and the WebParts in it are using very basic HTML Markup. This is one of the situations where you're still better off using tables for layouts rather than CSS.
As long as the rendered HTML is simple, the BlackBerry browsser should be able to handle it fairly well.
You should look that mobile controls are rendering pages in xHTML MP. What are you detecting mobile device? If you are using tradicional browsercaps, then you should up date with mdbf.
Maybe you could use WURFL (Marg.WURFL for .NET) what it replace Mobile Capabilities for WURFL Capabilities.
