The only way this is possible (and I think it depends on the browser) is with inputs. You can (or at least in Mac OS X you can) drag a file onto a textarea/text/file input, and the browser will paste in the path of the file.

As far as being able to detect it as if it were being dragged like an HTML element, that one's a 'no'; there's no 'element' being dragged.

I suppose you could check to see if the mouse is being held down in window.onmousem ove and then simulate a drag event (though you'd have to use a generic icon since you wouldn't have any way of knowing what, exactly, the User is dragging). And even then, without using a text input, there'd be no way to receive the 'drop' event.

Internet Explorer (naturally) has a proprietary method that might do what you want. But if your app depends on this behavior, you'd be locked into requiring IE.
