Not so far as I know. If the image doesn't exist on the server, I don't 
think Javascript has any way to get hold of the image data and create an 
object on the server.

You can copy/paste an image from IE, but it copies the original image tag 
and that isn't usually what you wanted. I'm not sure what FF does: it will 
happily offer the paste menu option after you've copied an image but 
nothing gets pasted.
