ASP, multipart/form-data encoding

I'm sorry if this is the wrong newsgroup, but the ASP ones seem to be
devoid of any talk about ASP (and rather filled with spam).

I have a very simple form here that loops back into upon submission:

All I'm trying to do is test that the hidden field is passing properly (it's
not). It works fine when I remove the encoding property from the FORM tag,
but I need it to build a file upload component. I've noticed quite a few
messages on various newsgroups and forums regarding this issue, but none
seem to have an answer..
<% option explicit %>
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<% Response.Write( "Hidval: " & request.Form("h idval")) %>
<form action="upload. asp"
enctype="multip art/form-data" method="post"
name="f" id="f">
Pick a file to upload:<br />
<input type="file" name="test" size="50" ID="File1"/>

<input type="hidden" name="hidval" value="test">
<input type="submit" value="submit" ID="Submit1" NAME="Submit1"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>I've been messing with this all day without luck, any insight would
be greatly appreciated!

Hi, Jon Petrak,

Most probably it is the parser that doesn't parse correctly the posted data.
As I don't have some code to check, could you try moving the hidden before
the input type=file control and then testing the value in the second page.

Hope this helps

Tried that, with no luck. Going to take a look at the http headers to see if
I can narrow this down any.

For future reference, the issue was that ASP does not natively support that
encoding type and the data has to be parsed manually.

Hi, I have a form that triggers the sending of an e-mail via CDOSYS. I'd like to make this a nice HTML-formatted multipart message, but for some reason the text version is coming through blank. Originally I thought I had read that CDO has an automatic text converter that will turn the HTML code into a plain TEXT message, but when that didn't work (and I couldn't find anything further about it), I added a custom text line like this:

So, one of the limitations of multipart-form handling is that when an <input type="file" ..> tag is used it will bring up a window which allows a user to select a file for upload but won't allow the user to select multiple files. As you may know, the tag produces a text input field with an adjacent button for selecting a file from the local file system. As I would like to be able to allow the user to upload an arbitrary number of files...
