Hi guys !
I have a form, in which I want users to upload either video or image . What I want to ask is how I can set it up so, that when a user tries to upload a image when there is already a video file in the video field ...the video field gets cleared out and vice versa .
Any suggestions ?
Thanks

re: uploading video or image file

What code do you have thus far? You are going to need some server side scripting to upload files to a webserver.

Hi AricC,
I am using PHP ....uploading is not a problem that part is working great. I just want to make a client side validation for this.
Thanks

Where are the videos stored? You will probably want to do this in your php upload code.

Thanks for your response.
I solved my issue.
I wanted a client side validation and Javascript "getElementById() " did the trick for me.:)

Thanks

You will need some server-side code to deal with that. Do you need javascript help?

re: uploading video or image file

I have a query in uploading images.
we upload images by using <input type='file' name='abc'/> tag.

now if we want to get the size of image before submitting it(i.e. at onsubmit), then is it possible in javascript, or it could be done at server side only.

re: uploading video or image file

In most cases, it is only possible on the server-side. In IE (not sure about IE7), you can access local files, so you can use the fileSize property. This won't work in other browsers.
