    Is it possible to have a script maybe ajax where you can you can drag a file from your computer onto your browser? Im not sure if it can be done but just wondering.

    Simple answer is it cannot be done using any sort of Javascript, server-side script, or anything to that effect. The closest thing would be an FTP client extension in Firefox.

    Hope this helps.

    Hmm, I don't know... most OSes support dragging a file to a file input, I think.

    You could further that by formatting the file input a bit, perhaps.

    I thought of that afterwards. The file input. I could incorporate DD's drag and drop script maybe.
