Thanks for the insight, Tony! This particular app will usually be handling 10 or less images at a time.

I suggested using the zipped folder method as an option to handle the issue of getting more than a few images to upload at a time. Facebook allows the user to upload all of the images in one go, then the user manages each image's description, title and tags after the images have been uploaded and processed. IMHO I think this is the best possible method (for batch uploading) because the other option (upload title, description and image at the same time) limits the user to a smaller amount. If you are limiting the app to a few photos, I suppose it is okay but most JS only uploaders cannot handle file size detection which is generally why Flash or Java is a better choice. The user knows how long it will take for the file to upload and once the server processes the image, it gets the post back and all is good. Give them a choice if you're going for best user experience. If the file is a zip, upload them all and then prompt them to manage one individually. Otherwise, they can choose to upload one image at a time using some sort of Ajaxy multi file upload with descriptions and tags, etc. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
