Uploading files with IE

Hi, I'm writing a class that will enable the user to upload files to
the server without reloading the current page (using target="iframe" ),
and it works just fine in Firefox, but when I test it in IE, first of
all, the iframe is not targetted at all, and IE stupidly opens a new
window, second the <input type="file" element looses it's name
attribute for some reason... I tried using DOM and assigning the
element thru innerHTML, both will just not work in IE (and will just
fine in Firefox). Those interested to have the source code (commented
in french) may just ask me. But if anyone had similar problems, and
would want to share with me, I'd really much appreciate, because this
is driving me insane !

Thanks !

What this has to do with javascript, I am not sure. But, post a URL to a
sample page that displays the behavior.

Well, first of all, the class is written in Javascript... but anyways,
I've found the answer I was looking for ; the problem comes because IE
doesn't like direct DOM manipulation (for some reason) so, instead of
passing the <inputelement (created via document.create Element), I
created the whole <formblock from a string (i.e. : "<form id="blah"
....><input name="foo" type="file" /></form>"), then I set var
inputElement = document.getEle mentById('foo') ; ... to cut the whole
thing short, instead of using createElement (that IE doesn't like) I
passed by the getElementById, and it worked...

BTW : I always wondered by innerHTML was faster than the DOM functions
?

Well... to those with the same problem, mine is solved :)

Thanks anyway Randy.

Hi there. I've spent the weekend getting ever more frustrated, trying to get an upload file function working on a website. The site is hosted by a company called oneandone. They're using PHP 4.2. 3, not in safe mode. I think that the basic problem is the set-up for the temp folder, but I don't have access to the .ini settings. I'm pretty sure it's possible, because I've got MyPHPAdmin running, and

Hi all, I've come across a problem that has me stumped, and I thought I'd send a message to the gurus to see if this makes sense to anyone else. =) Basically, I'm trying to upload a series of files via FTP.

Finally, I close the socket, set it to...

Good afternoon. The entire task that I'm trying to achieve is to allow a user to browse and upload multiple files simultaneously, hiding the Browse button of <input> tags of type="file" and replacing it with a button of my own background color and text. The file paths I'd like displayed in a textarea and then the files uploaded at once.

You may be wondering why you would want to put your files “into” the database, rather than just onto the file-system. Well, most of the time, you wouldn’t. In situations where your PHP application needs to store entire files, the preferred method is to save the file onto the server’s file-system, and store the physical location of the file in your database. This is generally considered to be the easiest and fastest way to store files. ...

MS won't seem to let me reply to my old post, so I created a new one. The error occurs in all browsers. It's definitely a server issue, not client. The server is not proxied in any way. I tried uploading the files on the server and experienced the same issues as I get on any other computer. Thanks in advance for your help. Dan

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
