HTML5 drag and drop between windows

Question

Hi,

is there anyway with the HTML5 Drag & Drop functionality or/and the File API to drag an jpg image from one window to another?

The idea is that I could drag and image from Facebook to a different browser's window with a custom HTML that would get that image.

Or, at least, a way to drag from the Desktop to a browser?

Thanks a lot

Not sure about between windows, but certainly from the desktop:

Answer 2

Here is an example of the file drag and drop using HTML5. This doesn't seem to work from one browser window to another(Desktop->browser works). But you can use this as a reference.

this is an experiment using web id to create a HTML5 form.
