Yes, the file field seems to be the anomaly in using that method ...
I've found you have to actually TRIM() the file upload in the CFFILE tag
to get it to work 100%
This is what I do to catch everything but the file field, then I just
TRIM() all CFFILE uploads
if(HTTP_USER_AGENT contains "msie" AND HTTP_USER_AGENT contains "mac"){
if(isdefined("FORM.fieldnames")){
for(zz=1;zz lte ListLen(FORM.fieldnames);zz=zz+1){
formObj=ListGetAt(FORM.fieldnames,zz);
tmp=evaluate(formObj);
if(tmp DOES NOT CONTAIN ":\WINNT\TEMP\"){
tmpA=StructDelete(FORM,formObj,"TRUE");
tmpB=StructInsert(FORM,formObj,trim(tmp));
}
}
}
}
This assumes a Windows server so you'll have to change the line: if(tmp
DOES NOT CONTAIN ":\WINNT\TEMP\"){
to match the temp directory of your OS.
I include this in Application.cfm ... That way it catches every form
submission made. Looking at it here in this message I think it should
check FORM.fieldnames first instead of the HTTP_USER_AGENT - you may
want to change that so it processes slightly faster.

Subject: strange problem when you Trim() file upload form fields
I had an issue recently that you might remember, where a Mac-based user
of a CMS I've done was having problems using a form. Seems that IE on
the Mac likes adding whitespace or carriage returns to form fields, and
those that I set as boolean values were throwing errors when they're
tested, because the
string "TRUE " doesn't evaluate as a boolean!
My catch-all solution was to include this code in Application.cfm:
Does the trick, even if it's a little heavy-handed.
Now we've got another problem, in that you can't upload files. An error
gets thrown when you try, saying something like "form.filePath doesn't
contain a file".
Of course by the time you get to the server, form.filePath is something
like "C:\WinNT\Temp\AC0245.tmp" due to the way CF uploads stuff. But I
really can't see any difference between that field's value before or
after the
Trim() code.
Does anyone know what's going on here?
My workaround for the meantime, as all my file upload fields are named
"filePath", is this:
But naturally I'm curious to know if there's a rational explanation
behind all this...
