This is not "slick", because the user has to do a browse for every file he
wants to upload; but it works without java. If you want, you can use
javascript dynamically change the filelist, instead of reloading the input
page. Use divs and something like this:
function writetext(lay,txt) {
if (isIE4) {
document.all[lay].innerHTML = txt;
}
if (isNS4) {
document[lay].document.write(txt);
document[lay].document.close();
}
if (isDOM) {
over = document.getElementById([lay]);
range = document.createRange();
range.setStartBefore(over);
domfrag = range.createContextualFragment(txt);
while (over.hasChildNodes()) {
over.removeChild(over.lastChild);
}
over.appendChild(domfrag);
}
}

What if you did not know the number of mutiple files and wanted to make it
dynamic via select box, say 1-5? I know Javascript is the anser, but I have
never done anything like that. Do you know of anybody that has?

I've only ever heard two answers to this:
1. Some kind of custom Active-X somethingorother.
2. Multiple file input fields, followed by looping over cffile.
I'd certainly be interested if anyone has any better solutions.
