Upgrade was from 2.1.x. I tried to trace down exactly what broke the code, but may have wiped out the tracks accidentally by changing some code in another place. Nonetheless, when I have some more time this week I'll go back and try to trace it through again. > > When you upgrade web2py we do not upgrade web2py.js in your applications. > Yes, I know.

I am suggesting, instead, that we package up a jquery single-file uploader and ship it with web2py so that it becomes a standard *tested* way of uploading files from a component. It seems like this has already been done with the menu system and possibly other stuff inside web2py. I don't think it would be inconsistent to make a component file uploader a standard part of the tool as well. As for claiming this is the third time, I did hedge a little by saying it was "possibly" the 3rd time. I haven't kept good enough notes to be sure of this. My action item is to trace things through and try to identify the web2py.js code that's causing the problems. --
