On OSX for example some "files" are actually folders. There should be a way to drag in folders too. Posted from: 203.121.161.62 42110 1 jonas 2010-11-04 09:46:14 +0000 There is nothing in the spec preventing folders to be treated as files. So you should be able to drag a folder just as much as a file. If not, file a bug on the implementation where you're seeing this behavior. 43612 2 ian 2010-12-29 08:24:03 +0000 It's not clear to me exactly what should change in the spec here, if anything. I'm not sure it makes sense to drag a folder unless the <input> widget is a multiple="" widget; in the latter case, though, there doesn't seem to be a problem, it should just work as Jonas says. 44534 3 ian 2011-01-21 01:47:46 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
