<input type="file"

Pai
Hello there,

Good Morning,

I am facing a peculiar problem.

I have the following code in the html section of my .apsx page

<input type="file" runat="server" id="fileBrowse " NAME="fileBrows e">

and the following code in my code behin:

string srcUrl = System.IO.Path. GetFullPath(fil eBrowse.PostedF ile.FileName);
string srcFileName =
System.IO.Path. GetFileName(fil eBrowse.PostedF ile.FileName);

Stream fStream = fileBrowse.Post edFile.InputStr eam;
byte[] contents = new byte[fStream.Length];
fStream.Read(co ntents, 0, (int)fStream.Le ngth);
fStream.Close() ;

I also have another server side control whcih is a button

<asp:button id="AddUser" runat="server" Text="test">

when I click on this button and then try to upload the file, the
reference to the file which has to be uploaded is lost....

and fileBrowse.Post edFile.FileName holds value = ""....

I am not able to figure out how to go about this....

any idea why this is happening....

Kind Regards,
Srikanth Pai

Server-side code questions are unsuitable for this newsgroup.


Well, yes, but from the HTML viewpoint, we can say that the runat="..."
attribute does not comply with any published specification and, besides,
problems _could_ be caused by HTML markup for the form, since a form with
a file field should always have enctype="multip art/form-data" and
method="post". We cannot check whether this is relevant, since no URL was
given in the question.

Hi! I'm making a system that will generate Winamp-playlists. To make it easy for the user to add a file to the list, I'm using <input type="file">. The problem with this is that I only get the filename, not the path, which is necessary in my situation. I cracked the problem in Firefox:

I've encounted a pretty strange problem and I'm not quite sure what to make of it. I have a web service that consumes an XML file as well as a few other parameters. This web service works fine if I use the web test interface. It also works fine if I call it from an ASP.NET page that has a text box where the XML is pasted and then passed on. However, I get an exception if I use an <input type="file"> control on the ASP page that allows...

I'm trying to handle the onChange event in an <input type="file"> element. In IE, there's no problem: the event fires when a file in the "open" box is doubleclicked, or the "Open" button in the box is clicked, or "Enter" is hit in the attached text box. I can get the value of the element. But in Netscape 7, onChange doesn't fire until focus leaves the element. When you double-click a file name or click "open" in the Open box, the...
