I am not sure if this is database related but i think you guys can help. I
am building a website for an aircraft vendor. He wants to have an admin
portion of his site in which he can update info on planes, add and delete
planes, which i can handle no problem.. But he want to also be able to
upload pictures that are stored on his computer..
I would like to know how to add a "browse" Button in the admin section so
that a browse window will come up where he can locate the picture and then
i would like to have a button "upload" in which the page will take the file
and upload it to the websit's /images/ directory. You guys got any
ideas?? Vbscript or javascript is preferrable.. Perl and I arent the best
of friends
Thanks
Brad

The bit you descibe can be done with plain HTML - go and look it up, it's
just a particular form element.
HINT: <input type="file" enctype="multipart/form-data"....>
Only works in NN v3+ and IE v4 +
You'll need a component to handle the binary data stream at the server end.
Look for SAFileUp or similar.
Cheers

you just have to add the html tag
<input type="file" name="file">
thats it!
Good luck!

To handle the binary data at the server end try,
reading this article of Philippe Collignon
http://www.asptoday.com/articles/20000316.htm
Hope it helps.
