title: Is there still a bug in IE8 with jQuery droppables?
body: <p>I have a page which has a tabbed view which contains 3 sortable columns below it.  Currently, the tabs don't have any jQuery code associated.  I gave them all the droppable class, however, and now in IE if a piece of content is dragged between columns and then moved again, jQuery blows up while trying (i think) to access the parentNode in the DOM. I found <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-ui/browse_thread/thread/6f69bdf753bf7d40" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> article which discusses a similar problem, but is a year old and refers to IE7.  Does any one know if there are similar issues in IE8?</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE: The bug is somehow related to UpdatePanels...each of the columns is a seperate updatepanel, and if I remove the updatepanels the page works normally.</p>
