Hi there,
In one of my app I need to deal with local files. First I tried using
INPUT(_type='text',...) to ask user to manually input the full path
name of a specific file, such as "C:\Program Files\Blah blah\foo
\bar.exe". Obviously no one likes to type that long string. So I came
up with this. Feel free to use it if you like.
class FILENAME_SELECTOR(DIV):
'''
Usage:
In your controller:
def action(): return {'':FORM(..., FILENAME_SELECTOR
(_name='the_name'), ...)}
After submit, the file name is in request.vars.the_name (but in UTF8
encoding!)
'''
def __init__(self, *components, **attributes):
name=attributes.get('_name','filename')
components=[
INPUT(_type='file',_name='_%s'%abs(hash(self)),
_onchange="document.getElementById
('%s').value=this.value"%name),
INPUT(_type='hidden',_name=name,_id=name),]
super(FILENAME_SELECTOR,self).__init__(*components, **attributes)
Regards,
Iceberg
