Thanks for your efforts Malte. It seems that different browsers return 
different data, which probably makes it impossible to do anything 
meaningful with. It also seems that even if the dragData does contain 
some imageData then it somehow gets munged during the drag so that any 
image you create with it is either incorrectly sized or contains 
garbage or both (at least on OSX). The same seems to be true for images 
dragged from a local folder - although at least you can trap the 
filepath correctly that way.

If anyone else has any ideas I'm all ears.

Cheers,

Terry...
