Three questions tho, 
1. I get 2 security popups saying the operation is unsafe (I don't select 'Remember my decision'). Will the user always get 2 popups (per file dropped) if a page uses this technique? (I'm using ff v2.0.0.7 and win xp SP2).  
2. Is it possible to impliment Ctrl C, Ctrl V support for files or not?  
3. Is this really cross platform? Does it work on all environments where firefox can be run?<br/>left by: barry]]></description></item><item><title>Creating a Mozilla/Firefox Drag and Drop file upload Script (Part 1)</title><guid isPermaLink="true">http://straxus.javadevelopersjournal.com/creating_a_mozillafirefox_drag_and_drop_file_upload_script_p.htm#comments</guid><link>http://straxus.javadevelopersjournal.com/creating_a_mozillafirefox_drag_and_drop_file_upload_script_p.htm#comments</link><pubDate>Wed, 03 Oct 2007 03:28:00 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[How can I restrict the drop to only one node.

I managed by using an iframe into which I loaded a little html/js page and that worked.
But an object tag.... I hadnt thought about that - excellent, I'll do that instead

Current security recommendations have deprecated much of the methods used here.  Get a professionally signed cert to sign your jar with, build you applet to do whatever you need including handle drop actions and copy files from the client and send them to your server...  then jar the applet, sign the jar with the professional cert and include the applet as the drop target on your page... most professional applications don't allow dropping just anywhere on the site, they make you drop, as he said above, on a specific location, this double ensures your intent....

The steps are a bit more involved than I have specifically stated here, but not too much and much easier than messing with mozilla security, and it works in FF, Netscape, Opera, IE, and etc.

And you don't have to code anything special to deal with security in your applet...  though it is a good idea to build in specific routines to check functions are available prior to using them, and move on gracefully when the particular function is not available...

Once your applet has security cleared it can use http, ftp, etc. to handle anything you like including contact servers other than that from which it came...

Thought I should share a typo that I didn't notice for some time that was driving me crazy.
I was trying to implement dynamic addition of file fields but it was escaping me.. it would always immediately open the dragged in file in the browser window.

Eventually I found it. In the following line 

var parentForm = document.getElemendById(“formID”);

there's an errant "d"
should be

var parentForm = document.getElementById(“formID”);<br/>left by: Tref Gare]]></description></item></channel></rss>
