Hi, Matt,
I tried it, but still comfused. What's it really do to use input file?
when I use <input type= file ..>, when I click "Browser" button and choose a file, the path is displayed in the text box next to the browser, it just give you the name, not really open the file the user chose, right?
I try the following example:
in initial asp page:
<FORM NAME="oForm"
ACTION="repost.asp"
ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"
METHOD="post">
<INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="TargetURL"/>
<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="displayFileName" value="File Name" onClick="javascript
:display();"/>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Upload File">
</FORM>
<script language=javascript>
function display(){
document.write ("fileName=" + document.oForm.TargetURL.value);
}
</script>
The following is repost.asp page:
<%@ LANGUAGE = JScript %>
<%
Response.buffer=true;
%>
<HTML>
<TITLE>Repost Example</TITLE>
<BODY>
<H1>Upload Status</H1>
<P>
ALL string : <%=Request.querystring("TargetURL")%><br>
Destination: <B><%=Request.Form("TargetURL") %></B>
</P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
The problem is that when I use "method=post" for the <form>, I can't get the path in repost.asp page by using request.form("TargetURL"), but if I use "method=get", I can get the file path in repost.asp by using Request.querystring("TargetURL"), why?
From the doucment, when use <input type=file..>, we must use the following:
<FORM NAME="oForm"
ACTION="repost.asp"
ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"
METHOD="post">
but why when use it, the path cann't be accessible?
