File 'drop box' - can it be done?

[desdub]

I want to have a page that contains a file drop box where people can drag and drop files which will then be emailed to somewhere when the user hits a send button.

Can anyone direct me to some code that will do this? I've had a bit of a look around in the usual places with no success.

Thanks

as to the first part, the drag and drop thing. dragging and dropping is an operating system dependant thing in that context. You'll notice if you drag adn dorp a file on IE in Windows it loads teh file into IE. The only real file interaction is <input type="file">

as to the second part, javascript is somewhat limited to what it can do with email, of course there is the mailto: href, but that is limited, and certainly doesn't use files. What you've seen on forms uses a server side script. Now you don't have to write the server side script, but you have to access to one that does what you want.

Thanks DrDaMour,

I was afraid you (or someone else) would say that.
