RE: Brain not working... how do I get these values?
Well... the results are mixed. I posted this over on the jQuery list, too,
in case it was more of a jQuery problem than CF.
But I've copied the post below, if you have time to look at it.
Thanks for your help!

Hi, all.
Well, I'm still on the path of trying to create a file input cloning system,
with CF as the server-side processor.
I'm having mixed results.
FF2 just returns to the page with no uploads or errors.
IE7 uploads a file for the first filefield, but, even when there is no
second field that has been added via JS, I get an error stating that
The form field 'IMAGE-UPLOAD-2' did not contain a file.
Well, form field 'IMAGE-UPLOAD-2' wouldn't contain a file, because I hadn't
click on the link connected to the JS that would have created a form field
called 'IMAGE-UPLOAD-2'. IE seems to think that form field exists, when it
doesn't.
I've included my jQuery below and the CF and HTML.
If anyone could take a look and see if you spot a problem, please do.
If it will help, I'll re-create this page online.
Thanks for any help!
Rick
jQuery:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#add-image').click(function() {
$('#image-next').clone(true).
attr('name', function() {
return this.name.replace(/(.+)(\d+$)/, function(s, p1,
p2) {
return p1 + (parseInt(p2, 10) + 1);
})
})
.insertAfter('#image-div :last');
});
});
CF for processing form when submitted:
cfif isDefined(form.fieldnames)
cfloop collection=#form# item=fieldname
cfoutput
#fieldname# - #form[fieldname]#br
/cfoutput
cfif left(#fieldname#, 5) eq image
cffile action=upload filefield=#fieldname#
destination=e:\inetpub\webroot\test
accept=image/jpg, image/pjpg, image/jpeg,
image/pjpeg
nameconflict=makeunique
/cfif
/cfloop
/cfif
Relevant HTML:
ul
liClick the browse button to locate an image./li

Rick,
You don't really need a counter. Just do something like (not checking
syntax here...):
cfloop collection=#form# item=FieldName
cfif Left(FieldName,5) EQ file_
cffile action=upload fileField=#FieldName# destination=...

Brain not working... how do I get these values?
Ok. so I'm trying, for the first time, to set up unlimited file inputs for users. I'm using a jQuery plug-in, which works fine. What I can't figure out is how to get the values for the image fields so I can loop over them in the cffile and query actions. When I try to cfoutput the field values, e.g., values from multiple file fields called image, I get the value returned as: C:\ColdFusion8\runtime\servers\coldfusion\SERVER-INF\temp\wwwroot-tmp\neotmp26159.tmp It's a single value, not multiple values. I assume all the values are wrapped up in the data in that temp file. I have always worked with one file field input per value, so I'm a little lost on how to get the values I need? Anyone care to straighten out the confused one?

Re: Brain not working... how do I get these values?
Can you name the file fields independently (i.e. do they have to be the same name)?

RE: Brain not working... how do I get these values?
Well, at first I did work out a way (with some help!) to us JS to generate the additional file fields and give each one a unique name, however, I realized that since the user is generating the inputs and the input's name, I would have to automatically generate some CFML to correspond to the generated file fields for processing. For example, with a comma-delimited list of file field names, I could use a loop with for=1 to len(comma-delimited list) (pseudo code) and loop through the file names for cffile processing and inserting into a db. However, with uniquely name fields being created by the user, how would I let CF know how many fields it needed to process? If I know how many file fields a user created, I would know exactly what the field names would be, because the JS increments the names starting with image-upload-1, then image-upload-2, etc. So, how would I handle the processing not knowing the number of fields being passed by the form to CF?

Re: Brain not working... how do I get these values?
Call them file_x_ where x is the number of this field, while keeping a running tally (using JS) of fields in a hidden form field hid_filecount (all of which gets submitted in the form). Then you can loop through input file_1, file_2 etc through to x, which is the value of hid_filecount.
