I haven't been able to find any resources (tutorials, tips, best
practices, etc.) that show how a web page through javascript could
accept an image file that is dropped on the page from the filesystem
and then show that image in the page somewhere. Is this possible?
The closest I've come, conceptually, is to stick an applet in the
page, make that the drop target, then when the user drops the file on
it have it send that back to the server then through AJAX pass the
image back to the page and let the Javascript get a handle to the
image through the AJAX message.
But is there something I can do that is simpler or more seamless?
Thanks!
