Hi Steve, I am using CFLAYOUT (AJAX) for the administration pages to help so a lot of information on a screen and making it easier to work with content. I don't use it for the front end since I want it to be "lighter".
Anyways, I am experiencing the same problem with you. You CAN'T as far as I know, upload any files within the CFLAYOUT tag. It keeps complaining about the form encoding format (even when I tried multiple ways to get around it). I had to make a special page to do the file uploading. Ideally it would be to be able to create a CFWINDOW which allows you to upload file(s). Anyone else got sucess with it? Andy > Chris, thanks for the insight.
