dragover mouse event contain file info in XUL application using javascript

Question

I'm writing a XUL application using JavaScript for the coding. I would like to be able to drag files onto a control in this application and, when dropped, have them show up.

This seems like it would be almost exactly like the tutorial here , but when I break in the drag and drop event handlers in a debugger, the dataTransfer member of the event isn't there!

How should I be doing this?

Thanks, Nathan

These features were added in Firefox 3.1 , and XULRunner 1.9.1 , so make sure you are using the correct version. Be aware these builds are still in beta.

The old API for drag and drop is here .
