Drag and Drop in IE

Question

Does anyone know of any way to enable users to upload files to the server from the desktop using drag and drop and IE. This is normal if it only works in IE9. I found several solutions that only work with a different browser. However, internally we use IE here :-(. I would even agree to flash, but it seems that swfupload does not support drag and drop.

thanks

Answer 1

As far as I understand, ie9 does not support File api, but only drags. those. 10 may support File api.

although you can get around this now - try: https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload http://aquantum-demo.appspot.com/file-upload

Answer 2

HTML5 provides a drag and drop API as well as a File API .

Unfortunately, IE9 does not support API files and it is unclear how much support will be available in IE10.
