Xpage with RichText field: Pasting images

I have an xpage with a rich text field with content editor. If I paste an image into the field on the web I see it along with my text. Then, when I submit, the backend document the rich text field has the image as a red bordered box (ie, can't find it).

How can I allow users to paste images into the field from a form on the web and then have it properly show up on the datasource document.

Using regular HTML/JS, it's currently only possible in Google Chrome.

See here for details:

There are some Java applets that could work (I haven't tried any). Examples here:
