hey ryan - and whoever else - something got lost in translation there - sorry about that - certainly wasnt trying to imply people were lazy... i super love using mootools and thank everyone who´s contributed to its development and everyone in this forum for how helpful the´ve been. ryan your site in particular was really really useful so i feel bad if i offended.
in my defense, my words were suppose to imply surprise not disdain... asking "is there and explanation" and using the words "it seems" was really supposed to be taken in there most precise sense. - i´m a curious kid and didnt understand where the difficulty was coming from, and was hoping to learn something new. but again sorry if it came out wrong. as for this other stuff ... 2) i´m looking through this http://valums.com/ajax-upload/ right now ... trying to understand how it works... and i guess its not using xhr but there certainly seems to be a work around out there 3) yeah proving harder than planned but again no attitude meant - "so it should be easy " wasnt anything thing more than the statement that - if it can be done, you can do it in a class and not have to redo it over and over - but i am struggling with the "it can be done" part. hopefully this link in (2) will prove helpful 4) i had avoided this when i first saw it because it seemed to use flash and i was kinda hoping to go flash free... but i´ll take another look. anyway, ryan and anyone else - sorry if my email seemed harsh in some way... nothing intended.. im a bit tired i which i think lead to less pleasantries than normal. night night kids. brook > On Jun 26, 2010, at 8:35 PM, brook wrote: > > > strange. i just did some reading and get what to do now with > > iframes. > > > so it should be easy enough to write a class that hides all this i > > frame business but i'm wondering why something that seems so necessary > > has been left out of mootools - is it a security thing? > > > cheers.b > > > On Jun 26, 10:05 pm, chone <[email protected]> wrote: > >> XMLHttpRequest is not support upload. you can do it in a iframe with FORM > > >> 2010/6/27 brook <[email protected]> > > >>> Hey All -- I just spent hours trying to figure out why an upload form > >>> wasnt sending the data for file being uploaded. > >>> Finally I realized that it was working if I turned off Javascript and > >>> it had something to do with Mootools.
