File upload using JavaScript

3 New Member
Hi,

I am writing an application where I create a temporary file on the client machine and I have to upload this file to a CGI on the server. This needs to be done without the user interaction.

I've looked at the FileUpload object but it requires user interaction. Is there any way I can upload the file without the user interaction?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Seejay

No, this would be a security risk if any file could be uploaded without the user's knowledge or approval.

I've been trying to execute a javascript function just before submit on a form that contains an <input type="file"> input field and it isn't working. The reason I want to do this is the end users will be uploading files that are between 1 and 2 Meg. in size, and they are not too knowledgeable about computers. I want to disable the form buttons so they can't hit them after they hit the "upload" button. We're trying to prevent them from...

I'm using freeASPupload and got some assistance integrating to a Member script. It works successfully. In this modified version there are two groups that use this upload script.

I would like to convert a form that currently uses the traditional CGI sequence (i.e. the action associated with the form sends a POST request to a server-side CGI script) to one that uses AJAX to send a JSON-encoded request to a remote web service. The stumbling block I'm running into is that one of the inputs in the form is a file upload element, and I can't figure out how to include the data from the specified file in the JSON...

Hi Does someone know a good tutorial for multiple file upload with xmlHttpRequest. I am trying to do directory upload. So I could choose directorys and upload those to the server. Another solution would be fake multiple file upload. It's takes only address of directorys and after choosing few address, you could push send button and PHP would do the rest.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
