RE: CFFILE :: Multiple image uploads?
i can do the standard cffile thing. create as many file fileds in your form then on to cffile. but what can i do if i want a cleaner interface. say 1 file or 30? how can i alow the user to upload as many files as they want with out having a ton's of Browse/ File Fields? a cleaner solution must be available? maybe not. You're running into a HTML limitation here, unless you can do something with Java (I'm sure I've seen something like this somewhere), you'll have to either cycle the page (one image at a time) or have loads of upload options Philip Arnold Director Certified ColdFusion Developer ASP Multimedia Limited T: +44 (0)20 8680 1133 "Websites for the real world" ** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

RE: CFFILE :: Multiple image uploads?
Paul, This very thing has ham-strung my development more than any other limitation of HTML. The simplest way to do this is to have the user zip the files like Aaron suggests. Another solution is to offer several upload boxes to the user. On our site, we will offer 5 by default. This is controlled by a variable, so if the users start asking for more, we can increase the number of files uploaded by a single form submission. We may also find a Java or JavaScript based replacement to upload the files. But the simplest answer is No, you can only upload a single file in each box. Even the "free" web site people like Geocities, etc. haven't found a better solution.
