For a project I'm working on I would like the user to be able to drag a file from the desktop or windows explorer and drop it on a web page in IE and have it uploaded to the web server. I've read that its possible with ActiveX but have not found anything about it.
Anyone know how to do this and where I can get what I need?
Thanks!
I think that for drag-n-drop to work the user will have to install a plugin. That's how it's done in services like Projectplace at least.
If you want this to work cross-browser, you should consider a Java applet.
Otherwise, I believe you are right that a custom ActiveX component should solve it :)
Browser Plus from Yahoo.
Cross browser support, but needs an install.
I've found some java applets that may be good but the ones I found required me to use a their graphics. I would like to create a drop area where they could drop their files for them to be uploaded. Anyone know of a java applet that would allow me to do that?
Browser Plus is to much for only wanting the drag and drop feature.
I have not been able to find an activex component that would help me, anyone have any tips?
Thanks for the answers guys.
