 ['moved' from HTML/CSS board, as suggested, thanks...]
Hello,
I am building a form that collects some data about a file and throws it into a PosgreSQL database and also allows the user to upload and process the file using PHP's $_FILES...
i.e., <input type="file" name="file" id="file" size="50"/>
Action is a PHP_SELF, method is POST, check with array_key_exists, etc... anyway..... :-)
The form works just fine if all of the data is entered correctly...
However, the 'onsubmit' js validation is not 'triggered' when the form's enctype="multipart/form-data" ??
Help! TIA! <smile>
Aside:
- once I get it working, any validation suggestions for the file upload part of the form as I can't check the $_FILES criteria prior to the submit of course
- I previously had it working via two forms - upload, check $_FILES, AJAX to turn on the submit for the details form, details entered, submit, working as desired - but only in IE! (in non-IE browsers, the submit button for the details part of the 2nd form was turned on correctly by AJAX but simply 'ignored' when clicked...)
Cheers!:
GREG...

The onsubmit should work. Post your code.
Of course, thank you:
(i) I put the validation javascript at the bottom, even though it is in the <head> - and may be you don't need it, as it it not getting there anyway
(ii) I gave you the lot, even though most is not relevant of course - apart from the PHP to process the form (as this is working)
(iii) the page is a *.php, necessarily
(iv) look for "DRAFT @ ..." to see which bits I am still working on (not relevant to this issue)
(v) I am not used to the formatting commands in the forum, so apologies in advance if it is a bot off kilter!
(vi) looking at it further, is it related the form tags are not totally within the table tags? (or vica versa)
