I am using WAMPSERVER v 2.1 with Firefox v 47 on Windows 10 . I have downloaded a number of examples of drag and drop javascript which I intend to adapt for my own website. I have seen them working on their respective websites but in http:/localhost when I try to execute I see a circle with a diagonal line over the image, a ghost image moves and when dropped, disappears. I have seen other posts along similar lines but none were resolved. Does anyone have any idea if this a Firefox or Wampserver issue ? and whether there is a solution ?

Neither Firefox nor Wampserver. I forgot to say that this problem started after I installed Windows 10. I have subsequently found out that Windows 10 installed IIS which uses port 80 (same as Apache in Wampserver). After disabling IIS, the Wampserver localhost is available again.
