I am using Version 3.4.03.
concerning mike's file attachment,instead of the upload pop up window
is it possible to integrate the upload form into post.asp in a table.
IMHO it will be more accommodating to users having problems with popup windows and user's friendly.
would appreciate it very much if you can help this novice.

This would be very difficult because of the way http deals with forms and uploads.

Popup blockers should NOT block windows which open when clicking a link or button, they are supposed to be for stopping windows which open automatically.

I wanted to implement exactly that in the attachment mod. There a few things to take care of.


  • the <form> tag of post.asp for the post itself needs to be closed before the upload form can beginn. In the end will be more or less a visual issue

  • the upload <form> needs to have a pop-up window as target which can be done in JS

  • the uploadform for the post could have a 'obsubmit=form2.submit' (simplyfied) statement



What I am thinking right now is how to force the post <form> to wait until the uploadform returns a result.

You could perhaps put the form within an IFRAME. If you still wish to show progress to the user, then it has to be able to communicate back the the web server to get progress, and the page also has to disable sessions, or else it will hang until the upload page has completed. The only way I can think of around this is using some fancy xml footwork.
