Hi All Guess this request is a little outside normal TW stuff..... hope someone can help anyway!!!
I am using a HTML form to submit information from a TW to a database (the TW is basically my research notes, shared lecture notes and presentation system rolled into one!!). I am wanting to have a system whereby students can share (PDF) files with others..... that part is working...using HTML forms the system can upload the file to my server.....and ...record the data in the data base (MySQL) ... I now want the TW to record (make a new tiddler) that the file was uploaded in a format that allows other students to open it (the TW is "shared" via Dropbox). The problem is that I am using <input type = "file" name="uploadfile">...which allows student to select their file...... AND now I need TW to know the name of the file selected. Normally I can access form data using something like (inside javascript) - var filename=this.form.uploadfile.value; ..this works when the input "type=text" ....but not when "type=file"...since apparently the input form includes the whole file....... But I need to know the name of the file the student selected and the system uploaded..... I need to know it client-side (inside the javascript of the <input type = "submit" value="click" onmouse='...........'>. Ideally I need to know just the file name....not the full pathname... Help?
