Subject: Re: <x:inputFileUpload - How to upload multiple files at once?
You can't use javascript to prompt for the files, unfortunately. If fact, if you re-post, that field blanks out.

The gmail one is still a lot of work for the end user because if they want to upload multiple files they have to do so with separate "Browse" buttons when it would be really nice to be able to select multiple files at once.
I would love to have a MyFaces UI component for this, but I am not sure how one would do this from the client end unless you could use JavaScript to prompt for the files (sadly I am no JavaScript wiz).
