Hello. Thank you for your help. However the new spec you linked me to does not contain anything I didn't know regarding my problem: I'd quote the explanation of .setData (https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-datatransfer-setdata) and whose data is the string given by the method's second argument. As soon as I want to insert binary data (as image/png) I don't know what kind of string should be passed. Base64? Binary string (bytes in string)? DataURI? The same question troubled me even before (I already found same information on MDN) (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/DataTransfer#setData.28.29) . Further more, there's no information about copy/cut event handlers. Since everything I tried failed, I need to have a strong evidence that I'm doing everything right before I post on individual browser's forums asking for implementation status and any kind of help. If my requirement is still unclear please try to read this question on StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/q/27206268/607407 (http://stackoverflow.com/q/27206268/607407). It basically describes the problem.

I'm sorry you accidentally landed on that spec; it's an old and desperately obsolete document that is, unfortunately, not marked as such.
