Here's an interesting problem for which I have no solution. Using CFFORM
enctype="multipart/form-data" to allow upload of a file. The file upload is
OPTIONAL, so it's either blank or has a file. That's no problem.
However, if the user types something into the file field, the submit button
just stops working. No error message at all. Just a dead form.
I can't find any validation routine for CFFILE, nor can I find any suitable
java script.
HOW CAN I EITHER PREVENT THE USER FROM TYPING IN THE CFFILE FIELD (Browse
button only), OR GIVE THEM A MESSAGE WHEN THERE IS AN INCORRECT VALUE IN THE
FIELD. ANY THOUGHTS????
Sample code below:
<cfform name="form" action="postmsg2.cfm" enctype="multipart/form-data"
method="post" ScriptSrc="_scripts/cfform.js">
<cfinput type="text" name="message" required="yes" message="Please
enter a message." >
<cfinput type="file" name="file" enctype="multipart/form-data">
(OFFENDING FIELD, TYPED VALUE KILLS POST)
<input type="submit" name="update" value="Post Message" style="margin-right:
8px;">
</cfform>
