Re: [webkit-dev] drag'n'drop file uploads
You can drag and drop a file onto the file input control, which you can create using . I'm not sure if that addresses your use case.

Here is a link to the source: http://straxus.javadevelopersjournal.com/creating_a_mozillafirefox_drag_and_drop_file_upload_script_p.htm I'm looking to create web applications in HTML5 and CSS3.0 that allow a user to drag either individual files or a folder of files into the application and are then manipulated and stored with reference to the actual files in the database. Once completed all files are then fired off to the server to final composition. I remember looking into this a while ago and finally gave up, only now we actually could really do with the ease of use and was hoping the Webkit nightly builds could have helped to provide the goods.

[webkit-dev] drag'n'drop file uploads
Does anyone have any pointers on drag and drop files from the finder directly into a web page or section of a web page. I've got examples in Firefox for this but sadly lacking in WebKit knowledge.
