doesn't work in firefox 26(latest)

[jurek7]

On paste only(drag & drop works):

TypeError: clipboardData.items is undefined

Hi Jurek,

This may relate to a comment i posted earlier about browser compatibility, https://github.com/Rovak/InlineAttachment/issues/22#issuecomment-31296773

I will doublecheck if anything has changed in the latest firefox which may allow the browser to read clipboard data during a paste event.

i checked similar javascript on http://pasteboard.co/ and it works.

Thanks for pointing to a working implementation in firefox, most likely it is using a contenteditable element which catches paste event with the data. I'm not sure how this works in combination with a textarea.

I will keep this issue open for further research

I'm totally agree about the compatibility check, however I just created a PR to mitigate this issue.

Here is another link, that may show some pointers about how to do it in firefox. http://joelb.me/blog/2011/code-snippet-accessing-clipboard-images-with-javascript/

BTW, the link is from the same guy who did pasteboard.co , at least that is what I read in some forum.

I read somewhere else also(can't remember the URL, shall check and post again) which has a working version in Chrome, but for firefox, mentions, just loose focus from the text area and then paste. So I think, that trick could also be used. I had checked it to be working fine too on firefox, but after losing focus from the area of interest.

Thanks for the pointers, i will try and implement it in version 2

Got a prototype working in #41

Excellent. Already past midnight here. I will try it over the weekend and report my findings.

For the time being, I am already using your published version in my personal website which i am developing for blogging purposes. I am surely keen to have this working well, and most likely will explore options on how to integrate with CK Editor as well in the simplest way.

Shall keep you posted on my testing with your recent changes around weekend or Monday.

I just made an update which moved the firefox logic to the core of InlineAttachment, this means it should now "just work" without making any changes to existing code.

I only made it for the default textarea now (see https://github.com/Rovak/InlineAttachment/blob/2.0.0-firefox/demo/input.html), i will add the other editors later.

Hi, rovak, you might want to check out my work paste.js. I managed to made a unified image-pasting interface for IE9+/Chrome/Firefox. Hope it can help solve this issue.

Anyway, I still can't make it work for safari. It seems hopeless.

[Rovak]

@layerssss thanks for the pointer! I will take a look at it.

Looks like Paste events will be supported in Firefox 41, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/41. Will add support when 41 is released
