How can I access pasted file in webkit browsers? (as Google Chrome)
Our magic sauce is just:
$('body').bind('paste', handlepaste);Where handlepaste is very similar to yours, so should work for you just fine for Chrome.
Unfortunately the above completely fails for FF, and we are loath to add a contenteditable anywhere (in particular given that it has to be in focus for this to work and we don't want to steal the focus).
