If you want to capture the name of the file in an input type="file", you
have to write a javascript event that fires on the input field... copying
the filename to a hidden field. This *can* happen before you perform the
upload.
I do not know if you will ultimately be able to do the cfmail mime-attach,
though. You might have to do the upload first.
Here's an example:
function copy2hidden(filefield) { //filefield parameter is the
file html element
if (filefield.value.length != 0) { //
filefiled must have content
//alert(filefield.value)
document.forms["uploadfile_pickfile"].fullfilename.value = filefield.value;
// set hidden field with name of file
//alert(document.forms["uploadfile_pickfile"].fullfilename.value)
}
}
<form name="uploadfile_pickfile" action="..." method="post">
<input type="file" name="file" value=""
onClick="loadfilelist(destination.value)" readonly="1">
</form>

|Subject: input type="file"
|
|
|After using the following code to browse for a file (thanks Philip),
|
|<form action="myPage.cfm" method="post" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
|<input type="file" name="myFile">
|<input type="submit">
|</form>
|
|I want to use the variable #FORM.MYFILE# to form part of a
|CFMAIL command
|using mimeattach :
|
|<cfmail to="smtp.address"
| subject="Submit Problem"
| mimeattach="#form.myfile#"
| from="#client.mailbox#">In #form.field1#,
|#form.field2#</cfmail>
|
|
|For some reason (in my example I used a text file), it renders
|the contents
|of the text document on the action page in full and doesn't
|interpret the
|file name as a string which is what I would hope it would do.
|
|Can anyone help?
|
