Why don't you use something like Activedit which has image uploading
built in?

Subject: Finding Images in HTML and Uploading


Before I go any farther than I already have, I thought I should ask you
folks if you have already seen this functionality, or know of a custom
tag
or UDF to do this:
 
I have a client who wants to be able to post HTML to a content
management
site, and have the ability to upload the images he references in the
code.
This is essentially a nightmare, however I can up with an idea for the
solution.
 
Basically, when he saves the HTML, I want to search through the text
that he
has typed and find any <img> tags.  Then, once I have the references to
those images found in the text, I will bring the user to another form
page,
which will loop over the list of these found <img> tags and write a
dynamically named <input type="image"> field for the corresponding
image.
Once the user selects and image for each found in the HTML text, I will
then
need to upload those images and change the <img> tags in the HTML text
to
reflect the names and location of the images uploaded, and return the
modified HTML text to be saved to the database.
 
WHEH!  That sounds like so much fun!  But, if any of you out there have
any
better ideas, please let me know.
 
Thanks!
 
Scott
