title: jQuery Drag-and-Drop Image Upload Functionality
body: <p>I am trying to code my own simple AJAX image upload script via jQuery. I have found some plugins but they are way too customized for what's needed, and I cannot get any of them working properly.</p>
  
  <p>I just want to somehow detect when the user drags and drops an image onto the page. From there I'm sure it's not hard to upload that data and move into a /cache/ directory and allow for further options..</p>
  
  <p>but right now I'm totally stuck with the drag/drop functionality. Literally no idea how I should approach this. What kind of event handler is needed? Will I need to custom code my own event handler? Any advice would be more than appreciated</p>
