Description

Demo available at Jsfiddle:
https://jsfiddle.net/a703d2q3/1/

This recipe enables direct copy and paste to upload an image using Javascript AJAX. Images copied from the Internet, image editing tools, or an image file are all supported. A little animation is shown on upload success. The uploaded image is automatically given a filename being the formatted current time. The default markup for uploading is also automatically pasted with filled filename as Attach:YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.png. On upload failure, an alert message is shown with response sent from the server. Note that this recipe currently only works in Chrome.

Note that this recipe can work with DragDropMultiUpload. ( include it before DDMU.)
