That's not a CFFILE filefield. That's an HTML form element of the type file. It's a standard HTML problem. I think most people dislike it but you get used to it.

Ok...I got this part figured out...now the users can click "Add Another Photo" and the page resubmits and adds another CFFILE filefield and caption field... I know this could be done more elegantly in JavaScript...but I'm no JS'er... You know, it's too bad the CFFILE file selection dialog won't let you choose more than one file at a time...I was going to try to select multiple files, then loop through the list and upload them that way...the idea being that a user could simply select say 20 photos and the CFFILE filefield would contain the list of files, then I loop over the list using the comma as the delimiter, and voila, a single selection of all the photos at once...but, as I quickly found out, the selection dialog won't do multiple selects...bummer...

My suggestion (quick and dirty) would be to put it in a hidden form field or pass it in the url. /t >-----Original Message----- >From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Monday, April 04, 2005 7:07 PM >To: CF-Talk >Subject: RE: Anything wrong with this statement? > >> What happens if it is passed in with a non-numeric value ... > > Wouldn't happen...the variable is used only on a page which > is submitting back to itself.
