Is there a good jQuery Drag-and-drop file upload plugin? [closed]

Answer 1

Check out the recently¹ released upload handler from the guys that created the TinyMCE editor. It has a jQuery widget and looks like it has a nice set of features and fallbacks.

Answer 2

If you are still looking for one, I just released mine: http://github.com/weixiyen/jquery-filedrop

Works for Firefox 3.6 right now. I decided not to do the Chrome hack for now and let Webkit catch up with FileReader() in the next versions of Safari and Chrome.

This plugin is future compatible.

FileReader() is the official standard over something like XHR.getAsBinary() which is deprecated according to mozilla.

It's also the only HTML5 desktop drag+drop plugin out there that I know of which allows you to send extra data along with the file, including data that can be calculated at the time of upload with a callback function.
