well... for the client side I'd start from something like that:
http://jsfiddle.net/dR9tH/19/ (via
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/647282/is-there-an-onselect-event-or-equivalent-for-html-select)

first of all define your web service that check for filename existence
and returns a json (for example) with the needed information

cheers

until the user clicks on submit, there's no way for web2py (or you) to 
know the name of the file being uploaded beforehand, using a normal input 
type=file. it's just not how the browsers work.

 Hello,

 I want to create a popup window that lets the user click okay to continue 
 uploading the file if it already exist in the database.

 I created a separate table which tracks all the files uploaded in the 
 database. I then append that to a list and check if the filename is in 
 there.

 My code looks like this:


 def my_form_processing(form):
 fileUploadList = []
 fileToCheck = form.vars.blah.filename
 filesUploaded = db().select(db.myFileTracker.ALL)
 for line in filesUploaded:
   if line.file_name not in fileUploadList:
   fileUploadList.append(line.file_name)
   if fileToCheck in fileUploadList:
 btn = form.element('input',_type=submit)
 btn[_onclick] = return confirm('File Already exists in database, 
 are you sure you want to resubmit?');


 def processing():
form = FORM(TABLE(TR(TD('upload file:', INPUT(_type='file', 
 _name='blah')))
if form.process(onvalidation=my_form_processing).accepted:
   response.flash = Processed file without errors!

 the problem is it sets the element after the file uploads and i'm not sure 
 how I can make it pop up before the file actually gets uploaded.

 Appreciate any help!
