Ideally, would like to be able to easily do drag and dropping of files to be uploaded.
If so, where can I find it?
Thanks.
A:
Not as far as I know, but the standard is still fairly young. There's a great little HTML 5 feature reference at http://slides.html5rocks.com/#slide1
Keep in mind they're also updating a JavaScript along with the HTML 5 standard so it may become inbuilt.
Hope this helps,
Jace

I do want that functionality, but in a jQuery plugin - rather than having to de-construct that functionality and implementing it manually. I might end up having to do that, but just wondering if something already exists like that.

As far as I can tell from looking at the Uploadify website, the script provides a way to upload multiple files with a single input.
I don't know about HTML 5 off the top of my head, but an HTML 4 file input allows multiple files to be uploaded.
This control type allows the user to select files so that their contents may be submitted with a form.

If multiple files are to be returned as the result of a single form entry,

Browser support is, however, rather weak. I think I remember hearing that Opera implemented it a while back.
