Re: Drag and Drop an Image into a Page

There is a lot more to consider here than just an web page.  And every
detail will be needed to determine how/if this can be done.

Questions I have:

Is this Internet or Intranet?

Is there a firewall/proxy?

How much control do you have over internal routers???

Try dragging and droping a file into a browser.  The page becomes the
file.....................
