drag and drop upload in IE

does anyone know of any way of allowing people to upload files to the server from the desktop using drag and drop and IE. It's fine if it works only in IE9. I've found several solutions that only work with the other browser. However, internally we use IE here :-(. I would even settle for flash but it seems that swfupload doesn't support drag and drop.

Thanks

HTML5 provides a drag & drop API as well as File API.

Unfortunately IE9 doesn't support the File API and it's unclear how much support will be available in IE10.

As far as I understand ie9 doesnt support the File api, but only drag and drop. ie 10 will possibly support the File api.

although you may be able to work around this now - try: https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload http://aquantum-demo.appspot.com/file-upload
