I asked a few weeks ago about this in the CF-Talk list. I cant remember if I
asked in here too.
My query was about how a empty file upload field in MacIE was producing a
file name, as if something had been uploaded.
I never got this error as I was getting a mime conflict.
>From what I can understand, it works like this...
On MacIE, all fields are appended with a newline character (why, I don't
know). the file field is seen to contain something by CF, so it saves the
contents as if it was a file. CF then sets the form field to the name of the
saved file contents (c:\winnt\***.tmp etc). So checking if the file field is
empty doesn't work.
The only way is to use the method suggested in the other email. javascript
to indicate if a file has been selected or not.
Obviously, it's not ideal. A person may have javascript off if using MacIE,
or javascript might be filtered by a web filter or something.
I'm still trying to find a server-side solution... maybe a report as a bug
to Allaire might work, or even to Microsoft.
Whatever the server-side solution, MacIE isn't complying with the other
browsers... client-side is an option, but it can be disabled...
