jQuery.event.props

[silverwind]

e61fccb removed jQuery.event.props which is still mentioned in this docs snippet:

// add the dataTransfer property for use with the native `drop` event
// to capture information about files dropped into the browser window
jQuery.event.props.push( "dataTransfer" );

If this change is intended to be breaking, I suggest pointing users to event.originalEvent.

This is an API site request so I'm closing it as a duplicate of jquery/api.jquery.com#405. That issue is quite old, though so it's good you reminded us about the change now being more needed than before; thanks!

Hey,
I'm using var files = e.originalEvent.dataTransfer.files at the start of my drop function. The code was designed to read the file properties and keep adding it to a tabular list under the target area where the files are dropped. but it doesn't seem to hold all the files dropped unto the target area of my html page.
I replaced jQuery.event.props.push( "dataTransfer" ); with the code above, but it only seems to store the current file details in the File variable.
What I'm wondering is whether e.originalEvent.dataTransfer.files can stack my file details as a filelist, if I drop several files unto the target? I loop through the file variable and print a table of the file details, but I'm only able to retrieve the last file dropped.

$table = $('#fileInfo'), //grabs a DOM element in Jquery
            i = 0;
    $table.html('<thead><tr><th>Name</th><th>Type</th><th>Size</th></tr></thead>');
for (i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
            $('<tr><td>'
            + files[i].name + '</td><td>'
            + files[i].type + '</td><td>'
            + files[i].size + '</td></tr>'). appendTo($table);
        }
        preventDefault(e);

Am I using the originalevent properly and what adjustments do I need to make to get my file variable to store multiple file details while the page is active?
Thanks for any assistance.
