Attempting to drop a file into the page and capture information

[Robert Fornal]

I have the following code ...

    <div class="u-drop-container js-drop-container">
    ...

    $(document).ready(function () {

        $(".js-drop-container").on("drop", function (e) {
            e.stopPropagation()
            e.preventDefault();


            var dt = e.dataTransfer;
            console.log(dt);
        });
    });

I am simply trying to capture the file information when it is dropped onto the page handled by CefSharp (WPF).  Drop is enabled in CefSharp code.

At this point, all that occurs is the "browser" attempts to open the file, rather than passing the information to be handled via JavaScript.

Any ideas on how to handle this would be appreciated.

If you debug the `CefSharp.Wpf.Example` project, is `OnDragEnter` being called?

We do have it enabled.  The issue is that a redirect occurs, opening the file.

In the long run, we have a drop element on the HTML page that we'd like to accept the incoming information; in the short run, we want to capture the file name and path and display it on the page.
