Image Drag bookmarklet fixed

13th February 2003

Boris Zbarsky offered a fix for my image drag bookmarklet’s problems in Strict doctype pages. The problem was due to Mozilla, when operating in strict mode, refusing to absolutely position elements that don’t have a unit of measurement specified. The bookmarklet now works perfectly on pretty much every page I’ve tried it on.
