"'data(...).options' is null or not an object" in jquery-ui

I'm using jquery-ui 1.8, and getting this error in Internet Explorer:

Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround? The error happens when I use droppable/draggable.

Try couple of things:

If you tried the ready handler but still got this error, try the load even instead:

$(window).load(function(){
  // your code here
});

Or try putting your jquery/js code at the end of the page.

In jquery.min.js replace:

stop: function(event, ui) {
    var o = $(this).data('draggable').options;
    if (o._cursor) $('body').css("cursor", o._cursor);
}

With:

stop: function(event, ui) {
    if ($(this).data('draggable')) {
        var o = $(this).data('draggable').options;
        if (o._cursor) $('body').css("cursor", o._cursor);
    }
}

Check this question. I had something similar, because in our drop-function, we did ui.draggable.remove(). This meant jQuery had nothing to work on anymore.
