Sorry, this is just wrong. I am currently working on a drag-and-drop uploading tool, and would really like to use html5 to do it. The new interfaces involved are the drag and drop (http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/dnd.html#dnd http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/...) and File (http://www.w3.org/TR/file-upload/ http://www.w3.org/TR/file-upload/) APIs. Unfortunately, everyone except for Firefox have been slow in implementing the File interface, leaving me with a situation where the only shipping browser where standards-based code runs is Firefox 3.6 (fwiw, it works in Webkit nightly and Chrome 6 dev). In shipping webkit (safari 5, chrome 5), File is implemented (which gives meta data about a native file) but not FileReader (which gives the actual data) (btw if someone knows of a non-standard way to get the data from the File object in shipping webkit please let me know, i just want this to work. FF had a non-standard getAsBinary() method on the File object before FileReader was implemented, for example). Opera doesn't even have File implemented. Again, FF is the only shipping browser that native os-to-webapp uploading drags work in a standards compliant way. Give them some credit.
