I want to create drag & drop placeholder in HTML, that will catch the location of dropped file. I target IE8 and IE9, and thought that some simple JS can handle this, but not.
I tried many variations. First thing I soon noticed from my failures is that IE8/9 doesn't support "file api", so all examples I was able to search for here at SO, can't apply. Then I tried to use iframe trick to catch file location, but it doesn't work on IE8, which supposedly works on IE9, but I didn't check.
Then I thought to stop hunting in the dark and ask more experienced what could be the way for drag & drop feature in HTML page on IE8/9, without using huge JS libraries?
