Brian,
Here is the code I am using:
<script language="JavaScript">
function parseFileName(theFile)
{
var start = -1;
while (theFile.value.indexOf("\\", start + 1) != -1)
{
start = theFile.value.indexOf("\\", start + 1);
}
FileUpload.action = FileUpload.action + theFile.value.substring(start+1,
theFile.value.length);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="FileUpload" name="FileUpload" title="Form to upload a file from the user to
the server" action="FileUpload.cfm?FileName=" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data" onsubmit="validateForm(this)">
<label id="UploadFileLabel" title="Lebel for UploadFile Input" for="UploadFile">
Select your file
</label>
<input id="UploadFile" name="UploadFile" title="File to be uploaded" type="file"
onchange="parseFileName(this)">
<br>
<button id="UploadButton" name="UploadButton" title="Button to start the Upload"
type="submit">
Upload
</button>
</form>
Then in fileupload.cfm I have:
<cfset uploadPath = Left(PATH_TRANSLATED, Find("FileUpload.cfm", PATH_TRANSLATED)-1)
& "UploadFiles\">
<cffile action="upload" destination="#uploadPath#" filefield="UploadFile"
nameconflict="makeunique" attributes="readonly">
It is working for me. I hope this helps.
Take care,
Robert
