Hello,

I'm trying to implement HTML5 drag-and-drop to accept files dragged
from the OS and process their data.

In the 'drop' event, I inspect the dataTransfer.files array. I then
try to create a new FileReader, as in:

var reader = new FileReader();

This does not work, I guess because Chrome doesn't yet implement the
File API. Is that right?

In that case, how can I get at the file's binary data in Chrome?

Many thanks.
