I'm having the same problem. The newest version of the plugin is developed for jQuery 1.4.2. (it's the version used on ​the plugin's website) Changes made in newer versions of jQuery results this issue. ​An example on the plugin's website uses live delegation and with jQuery 1.7 it won't work because in it the function is deprecated. I guess a fix for jQuery 1.7 wouldn't need really big changes to plugin.

Deprecation does not change the function of the software, it is strictly a documentation thing. We still need a test case, I'll reopen.

​Here's a test case.

Using jQuery 1.6.4 it works. You are able to drag a box you added to the screen. If you try it with jQuery 1.7, it no longer works. The functionality of event.drag plugin has disappeared.

I see this in the jQuery.event.drag plugin:

jQuery.event.triggered=true;

That has never been a documented interface, and it is no longer is a Boolean. The authors of the plugin will need to change their code, have them contact me if they need help.

I think the plugin is discontinued so they're not going to fix it.

Replying to dmethvin:

I found a fix to this issue from ​this thread. However, it's not helping with live delegation, at least not as far as my tests go.
