           Summary: event.dataTransfer.getData unusable on same domain of
                    drag via dragstart
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
               URL: http://code.eligrey.com/citedrag/test.html
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore JavaScript
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: bugzilla at eligrey.com


event.dataTransfer.getData should be usable from a dragstart event in the same
domain where the drag initiated. Instead, WebkKit is silently failing. This
severely limits the ability to customize the content being dragged, as it would
require knowing the content being dragged to customize it.
The URL is practical example of customizing dragged content by adding citations
to the source page in various formats for different drop targets (ie. textarea,
word processing software, ect) The demo will work correctly in Firefox 3.1.
