function on the form field would not do? The problem seems to be that
regardless of the users action, the form field for the optional upload
always includes a temporary file. Trimming the form field will simply trim
the /tmp/dd33ddl43 value. Is this trim function done before the browser
interprets the users request or something?
thanks again, appreciate the help.

I came across this a while ago when implementing some code to
automatically
TRIM *all* form fields coming in. The code I have is:
<cfscript>
if (IsDefined("form.fieldnames")) {
formFields = StructKeyArray(form);
for (i=1; i LTE ArrayLen(formFields); i=i+1) {
field = formFields[i];
IEMac = (FindNoCase("msie", CGI.HTTP_USER_AGENT)
AND FindNoCase("mac", CGI.HTTP_USER_AGENT));
if (NOT (ListFind("filePath,imagePath", field)
AND
NOT IEMac)) {
StructUpdate(form, field,
Trim(form[field]));
}
}
}
</cfscript>
The tag's comments say:
"Trims all form fields automatically (to avoid having to remember later),
but *doesn't* trim file upload fields for anything *but* IE/Mac (this
browser needs to have uploads trimmed; everything else breaks if
trimmed)."
You'd have to adjust that ListFind() to accomodate whatever naming
conventions you have for file upload fields.
I'm referring to this code almost as if it's someone else's because I'm
currently totally baffled by it not working in our new framework. So I
can't completely vouch for it. BUT, it's been working OK in our other
sites, so more than likely there's an issue with something in our new
framework rather than this technique per se.
