file button

June 17, 2001 by Steve Davis

Hey George (and others),

ASP upload is definitely the best!!!  Here's an issue I wonder if anyone has gotten around.

When someone clicks on the "browse" button and they find the file to upload, I think it is a "waste of a click" to have to then actually do the upload.

What is the point of people being able to see the file name...hopefully (I know it is unlikely...:-) people will pick the correct file from the browse window in the first place.

So, is there anyway (I can't figure it) to eliminate the filename window completely and just have a "browse" button, then when they click "open" after finding the file, it does the upload automatically.

Setting the size to 0 doesn't hide the filename window, by the way...it seems minimum size is forced to "4"

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Thanks

The browse button with the file field is part of the IE API. That is just the way it is unless you create your own Active X control.

Have you tried using the onChange event to trigger the upload?

Something like :

onChange="document.myForm.submit();"

Unzip Processor ASP and cs3

does this work with cs3, if not will there be an update or a new extension that will give us the power to have files both zipped or unzipped by request.
