Where do current (not HTML5) browsers stand on clipboard support for non-text data?
- by John
I don't really know where the line is between the browser itself and HTML/JS here. But let's say I want to write a web-app where I can copy a chunk of data from MSPaint (select, CTRL+c) and paste it into a web-page in some way... ultimately the point is the data goes to the server without me having to save it as a file first.
Where are the problems here - browsers or client-side technologies? For instance if JS can't do it, could Flex/Silverlight?
Advice on future technology welcome, but doesn't really answer the question - where are we right now with IE/FF/Chrome and JS/Flex/SL?
