HTML5 File Upload with Drag & Drop


Dragging and dropping files from your desktop to a browser is one of the ultimate goals for web application integration. This is the first in a four-part series of posts from SitePoint which describes how to:
  1. Enable file dragging and dropping onto a web page element
  2. Analyze dropped files in JavaScript
  3. Load and parse files on the client
  4. Asynchronously upload files to the server using XMLHttpRequest2
  5. Show a graphical progress bar while the upload occurs
  6. Use progressive enhancement to ensure your file upload form works in any browser
  7. Code it in plain ol’ JavaScript without a library.
Step:1 Copy and Paste 
File Name: filedrag.js (you must use this filename exactly)
(function() {
// getElementById
function $id(id) {
return document.getElementById(id);
}
// output information
function Output(msg) {
var m = $id("messages");
m.innerHTML = msg + m.innerHTML;
}
// file drag hover
function FileDragHover(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
e.preventDefault();
e.target.className = (e.type == "dragover" ? "hover" : "");
}
// file selection
function FileSelectHandler(e) {
// cancel event and hover styling
FileDragHover(e);
// fetch FileList object
var files = e.target.files || e.dataTransfer.files;
// process all File objects
for (var i = 0, f; f = files[i]; i++) {
ParseFile(f);
}
}
// output file information
function ParseFile(file) {
Output(
"<p>File information: <strong>" + file.name +
"</strong> type: <strong>" + file.type +
"</strong> size: <strong>" + file.size +
"</strong> bytes</p>"
);
}
// initialize
function Init() {
var fileselect = $id("fileselect"),
filedrag = $id("filedrag"),
submitbutton = $id("submitbutton");
// file select
fileselect.addEventListener("change", FileSelectHandler, false);
// is XHR2 available?
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
if (xhr.upload) {
// file drop
filedrag.addEventListener("dragover", FileDragHover, false);
filedrag.addEventListener("dragleave", FileDragHover, false);
filedrag.addEventListener("drop", FileSelectHandler, false);
filedrag.style.display = "block";
// remove submit button
submitbutton.style.display = "none";
}
}
// call initialization file
if (window.File && window.FileList && window.FileReader) {
Init(); }
})();

Step:2 Copy and Paste
File Name: styles.css (you must use this filename exactly)

}

#progress p.success
{
background: #0c0 none 0 0 no-repeat;
}

#progress p.failed
{
background: #c00 none 0 0 no-repeat;
}

Step:3 Copy and Paste
