Has anyone looked into how the Gmail "attach a file" link works? They don't seem to display an <input type="file"> control (unless it's heavily modified via css) and they let you attach an arbitrary number of files fairly easily albeit with multiple invocations of the Choose File dialog.
I suspect if there was any way to make the "Choose file" dialog select multiple files in a single invocation then the gmail developers would have done it. The gmail file upload interface would make a nice JSF control if it is not out there already. > -----Original Message----- > From: David G.
