I have a simple form that does nothing more than let the visitor
choose an image from their hard drive, and then upload it to the
server. It doesn't have any other fields than the <input
type="file"...f ield and, currently, a submit button. It's really
part of a larger form, but it's called in as an iframe so it's
technically a stand-alone form.
My question is, is it possible to submit the form as soon as the image
is selected, so that they won't have to click the Submit button? I
started playing with it and can probably make it work with onBlur, but
that's not exactly right because it still requires that second click
of the mouse.
TIA,
Jason

From the usability point of view it is a questionable approach: people
are making wrong selection and it is nicer to leave for the them a
chance for the last moment correction. Nevertheless you are the boss.
You may use onchange event handler:
<form method="POST" action="upload. cgi" enctype="multip art/form-data">
<input type="file" name="file01" onchange="this. form.submit()">
<noscript><inpu t type="submit" value="Submit"> </noscript>
</form>

Excellent, thank you!
FWIW (and just in case anyone reads this later with the same plan),
the visitor only has one image that they can upload, and it's being
saved on the server as their username; thus, each time they upload a
pic it will rename the existing one to username-backup.jpg, and then
the new one is named username.jpg. This way, I can add a button to
revert back to the original one if they don't like the new one (which
would just delete username.jpg and rename username-backup.jpg to
username.jpg).
Thanks again,

Hi Guys,
We know that we can use <input type=file ...> to upload
one file per time to the server. My question is if there
are some way to upload multiple files per time to the
server. (Of course, we can use <input type=file ...>
multiple times and then submit once. But this is not what
I want, because we have to click "browse" button several
times to select multiple files before submit in this
way.) "Upload multiple files PER TIME", I...

Thanks Richard and Shan,
I am using the HtmlInputFile control.But Shan where
exactly do you want me to put in your code? becoz,after
the user selects a file to upload and hits Submit, then
the flow of the code does not go into the OnClick() event
of the submit button, if the filesize is > 50 Mb.I checked
this by setting a breakpoint on the first line of the
OnClick event. The aspx page just shows a DNS error page.

i want to do (multiple) file upload(s) and display a progress bar.
with firefox and safari it is no problem at all. only IE makes some
problems.
my script is based on ajax-uploader, which can be found at
www.srmiles.com/freestuff/ajax_file_uploader/ . you can do multiple
file uploads. each upload will have it's own "form"-tag, so that each
file is uploaded for its own. could be a good solution if there are
"big" uploads.

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