What a user sees is not important in this example, because the reality
is always completely hidden. Look at the code a bit and you will see
the point. While the code looks like it is complicated, it is mostly
repeats, since I provide a facade for twelve differing <file> tags. Note that this uses an <img> tag as a facade over the top of one of
those ugly browser tags people hate.

You did post a rather lengthy example. Honestly, I didn't have time to look through it. If you can distill it down to just the pertinent portion, I'd be interested in seeing it.
To reiterate... you need to construct a UI such that a user can select multiple files but WILL NOT see multiple <file> elements. They should see a single Browse and a single Upload button. I was imagining seeing a listbox with the files that have been added, probably with the ability to remove them too, but that part wasn't really specified originally. Further, the number of actual <file> elements (which would be hidden obviously) is unknown. So, you either meed a custom tag, as I did in my example, that has as a parameter the number of <file> elements to render, or you need to dynamically modify the form on the client-side each time a file is added (an approach I didn't take because of the potential cross-browser issues).
If you can pull this off, and it works in most modern browsers, I would indeed be impressed... and I'd steal it and incorporate it into my custom tag! :)

I think I showed this to Frank about a half year ago. The code that shows it is in the post to him yesterday. I may have showed someone else, but I am pretty sure it was Frank. Wasn't it Frnak?

Ok, let me play a bit tonight and see what I can come up with. I'm more worried about the server-side processing than the front-end, but even that shouldn't be terrible. I'll let you know what I come up with tomorrow...

If this is something that is interesting to enough people, I would mind throwing a real tag together with some options and such, perhaps a couple of different UI presentations, etc.
I am definitely interested in this. This is exactly what I need to do. I would really appreciate it if you could throw something together.
Thanks, Rocky Bitton
