Turn off Image Load

[cfps.Christian]

I'm seeking to make an application that will allow a user to drag an
image into IE (potentially Firefox) and it upload to our server. The
problem I'm having is when you drag an image into IE7 it loads the
image, is there a way to kill this process?

Re: Turn off Image Load

I'm not really up for ActiveX or applets since I have no idea how to
write one and I'm sure no one here could maintain it. I had an
element that could be added to a page that would allow for dragging
and dropping into a page used a Microsoft Animation control. It just
didn't have the functionality I was looking for.

The only thing I've even thought of in this light is if there was a
way I could tell the browser that the file is not an image somehow and
prevent the change.

Frames is an interesting suggestion as I could use an iframe, let it
load the image like normal and have the parent frame grab the image
location from that.

If you consider using a third-party Java applet instead of writing your
own application, have a look at RadUpload:

I have been using it for some years and like it very much. The basic
version is free, pro versions affordable.
