Wysiwyg with image copy/paste [closed]

by

You might find inspiration from ScreenshotMe.

Basically you need different parts:

  • something that takes the image out of the clipboard and uploads it to the web: this could be a java applet, flash or firefox extensions. Flash or Java would have the advantage of being cross browser
  • then you use the <canvas> tag to display the image once it has been uploaded (use explorercanvas to bring canvas to Internet Explorer)

As I pointed out in my comment, Google is discontinuing gears in favor of HTML5, have a look at 7 User Interaction – HTML 5.

EDIT:

HTML5 when implemented is supposed to interact with the system’s clipboard. I imagine the following scenario would work:

  • paste the image data from clipboard to canvas
  • get the canvas pixel data back as an image using toDataURL(): see Canvas2Image
  • upload the image to server when submitting: see Saving canvas image with PHP

Until HTML5 copy/paste drag&drop is implemented, you’ll have to rely on Flash or a (signed) Java applet to interact with the clipboard.
