Enable drag and drop for File Download control and attachment links from View control

I have the following request:

Allow users to drag and drop attachments from File Download Control and Attachments links from View control into a Memo document opened in their Notes client without saving attachments locally and then uploading then manually.

I need to enable this for:

  1. An XPage that contains document details and a file download control
  2. View Control with a computed column, that contains a Repeat Control with links to each attached document
  3. Users with IE8 (corporate standard at the moment)

I found this link: OpenNTF XSnippets but only works in Chrome and just allows drag and drop to file system.

I'm open to any other solution but I cannot install anything on users machines.

Regards,

Pablo Solano

Pablo. Drag & Drop is a browser function. It has nothing to do with the backend. If O'er doesn't support it... ... You are in ugly hack territory. I know 3 potential approaches: - an ActiveX control - a Flash applet - deploy Chrome frame The last one would be best, users still start/see IE8 but you could use all of HTML5. Unfortunately it is also the option IT resists most
