Simple Drag & Drop image uploader plugin to static forms, without using AJAX
Image-Uploader is a simple jQuery Drag & Drop Image Uploader plugin made to be used in forms, without AJAX.
This plugin uses the DataTransfer API. Therefore, is not a Cross Browser solution. Everything works fine on Chrome, though. See #3 for more details. If this is not a problem to you, feel free to enjoy the plugin.
Import the CSS file at the <head>:
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://example.com/image-uploader.min.css">
Import the JS file at the end of the <body>, after the jQuery:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://example.com/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://example.com/image-uploader.js"></script>
Create a form with enctype="multipart/form-data" attributte:
