PFMaBiSmAd Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Because the type="file" value can only be set by the browser's file select dialog box, you cannot use standard methods of adding fields by rewriting all the values. You must insert/add fields. Here is a link to script that shows how to do this - http://the-stickman.com/web-development/javascript/upload-multiple-files-with-a-single-file-element/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
