ToonMariner Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 should be fine - don't trust the maxfile thing in html though - always check file size on upload.

wildteen88 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 The file input tag is OS/Browser independent. I am using Vista and your HTML works fine for me. It could be an IE security setting or their Anit-Virus/malware software causing issues.

PFMaBiSmAd Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Your choice of colors is probably preventing the box from being seen. Start with just a basic form, no styling.

pudge1 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Correct me if I am wrong but I think you are using the wrong enctype="" that isn't what I use at least.

PFMaBiSmAd Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 The posted form code is valid and uploads a file correctly in both IE7 and the latest FF on a Win XP system.
