Paste an image into a web page

Question

Is it in any way possible, using javascript (jquery), html (5) to get a pasted image.

e.a a user click the printscreen button, opens a web page, clicks CTRL+V and the image is uploaded to the server (without the need to save to a local pc)

is it achievable through flash, java, any other technology?

Yes, this is possible in pure JavaScript, assuming either Google Chrome or Chrome Frame.

View a live demo of a jQuery plugin that cleanly wraps the HTML Clipboard API. This works by getting binary image data from the Ctrl+V paste event into JavaScript.

what about Firefox or Safari?

Give it a shot and let me know. I think it's related to the file API: caniuse.com/#feat=fileapi

Google Docs supports drag-n-drop in everything but MSIE, however it still does not support copy & paste of images:

I don't think it's possible using plain html/javascript, but you can do it using a java applet. Ex: Radinks upload control

@DanielXMoore "it's now possible" and "it's not possible with chrome + chromeframe" is two completely different things altogether..

Daniel X Moore Over a year ago

Why, Chromeframe works in IE, and Chrome is a pretty popular browser, and FF is getting there. So is it more accurate to say it works in 60% of browsers and increasing?
