I want to do drag-and-drop with ChromeDriver. The only WebDriver way of doing drag-and-drop I found is using the "advanced user interactions API". Unfortunately, the ChromeDriver documentation has the following "known issue":

Advanced user interactions API not implemented

Is there a way to perform drag-and-drop without the advanced user interactions API?

[Details: I'm using the Python bindings of WebDriver (version 2.17), and Chrome 16 on Mac OS 10.7.]

I imagine it got down voted becuase you answered your own question, drag-drop is not in the list of supported Actions so it is not supported. –  Stuart Jan 17 '12 at 17:17
@Stuart: My question is weither or not there is another way to implement drag-and-drop. –  Randomblue Jan 17 '12 at 18:09

For some reason, drag-and-drop did end up working with WebDriver, just very inconsistently.
