I'm working on a component that allows the user to upload up to 3 different files. So I've created 3 FileReference objects to hold the files, and so I can call the browse() method on them when a user clicks the appropriate button.
Later I want to look at the properties of the FileReference objects, but if I try to interrogate them in code I get a runtime exception if the user hasn't selected a file yet. I can't find a property of the FileReference object that will tell me whether a file has been chosen or not. I tried using: if (myFileRef.name != null) but that throws an exception as well (although the documentation seems to suggest that this should work). The only workaround I could find was to wrap my statement in a try, with an empty catch (because I only want to do something if a file has been selected). But this seems pretty ugly to me. I'm quite a newbie, so there may be a much better way of doing this, which would also get around the problem. Any help that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bob
