    copied!<p><a href="http://plnkr.co/edit/Cvms35UyKOV1iwUmvLqN" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Plunker demonstrating code</a></p> <p>I have a <code>&lt;div&gt;</code> element with the directive <code>dragAndDrop</code> set as an attribute:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div ng-class="divClass" drag-and-drop&gt;Drop files here&lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p><em>(as a side, and less important note, ng-class is not behaving as expected, but that's a <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15419839/angularjs-directive-scope-not-setting-ng-class-on-element">separate issue</a>)</em> What I would like is for users to drag and drop files from their desktop to the div. Upon doing so though, I use <code>angular.bind()</code> to detect the drop event. Of course once they drop, I call <code>e.stopPropagation()</code> and <code>e.preventDefault()</code>, but the page continues on with redirecting the page regardless. What am I doing wrong that would prevent the two aforementioned methods from executing?</p> <p><code>dragAndDrop</code> directive:</p> <pre><code>directive('dragAndDrop', function() { return { restrict: 'A', link: function($scope, elem, attr) { elem.bind('dragenter', function(e) { e.stopPropagation(); e.preventDefault(); // still can't get this one to behave: // https://stackoverflow.com/q/15419839/740318 $scope.divClass = 'on-drag-enter'; }); elem.bind('dragleave', function(e) { e.stopPropagation(); e.preventDefault(); $scope.divClass = ''; }); elem.bind('drop', function(e) { var droppedFiles = e.dataTransfer.files; // It's as though the following two methods never occur e.stopPropagation(); e.preventDefault(); if (droppedFiles.length &gt; 0) { for (var i=0,ii=droppedFiles.length;i&lt;ii;i++) { $scope.files.push(droppedFiles[i]); } } }); } }; }); </code></pre>
