[1] Prior to Gecko 2.0 beta 7 (Firefox 4.0 beta 7), all Blob
parameters below were File
parameters; this has since been updated to match the specification correctly. Prior to Gecko 13.0 (Firefox 13.0 / Thunderbird 13.0 / SeaMonkey 2.10) the FileReader.error
property returned a FileError
object. This interface has been removed and FileReader.error
is now returning the DOMError
object as defined in the latest FileAPI draft.
[2] IE9 has a File API Lab.
[3] Opera has partial support in 11.1.
