following my other posts i have a working flash progress bar , although i cannot remove the empty arrays in the count how can i remove empty arrays in an array , the empty file inputs seem to still contain something , so instead of 1 as the count if you upload only one file , its still 5 for 5 file input fields "Jed Verity" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > You're right about it costing more money.
