Hi Dave, Thanks for the reply.
<off-topic> When I said "upload all the files of a directory at one go", I didn't really mean that upload the directory as is. May be a smarter reply would be that yes, we actually can upload all files of a directory at one go, given that we zip the directory and upload the zipped file on the server and then unzip it through code and extract the files and use them. Thanks to you and the words you chose, it somehow just sparked me to just get the code ready just immediately. And tell me something, probably I am just thinking aloud and am even wrong, but if I can do it through code then can't we just have a custom tag that zips the chosen directory at client side, uploads the zipped file on to the server and provides the programmer with appropriate methods to use the entries in the zipped file more conveniently. Really sorry if you find my reply rude at all. I actually respect you for all the knowledge you have. But.....Imagination is stronger than knowledge. Sorry, if it was melodramatic. :-) </off-topic> Regards, Shivani This message may contain confidential and/or privileged information.

That's just not how browsers work. <off-topic> There seems to be a general lack of knowledge about how web applications, browsers, etc. work. When did this happen? I don't recall so many people having so little knowledge until recently, and I'm not sure how or why it happened. Things like the differences between client-side and server-side, what custom tags are actually doing, etc. Does anybody have any insights? It's to the point where I want to write a couple pages on the complete basics of all this stuff. Just kinda freaks me out is all. </off-topic> Dave --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
