http://www.freefileuploader.com/ Instead of the 5 textfields I need one textarea that when you click on the browse link you can select up to 20 files at once and then upload them all with one click. And as it does now, it displays each one's thumbnail and all the links for it. Please let me know if you can do this with past work/quote in a PM or a post here, thanks.
Most browsers will not support this. the only way I can think of it being done is with a lot of java programming.
I can do this using little AJAX. If interested, please send me your script. PM a download link, or if that's a problem, I can send you my email id to send files as attachment. Let me know. (Your final upload script will also change to take input from 1 textarea instead of multiple INPUT fields.) Thanks jeet Edit--- This might help: http://www.radinks.com/upload/plus/browse.php
JEET, I'd be very interested in viewing you final HTML/JavaScript for this as I just tried to select multiple files when attaching a file to this post, but the dialog will only allow me to select one (and this is hard coded into the browser). As GMROCKS said, it may be possible if you use Java (and even then I'm not 100% sure), but not everyone has Java installed on their computer, so you'd be alienating some of your audience if you did it this way. You could indeed just list all the files in one textarea after browsing for them individually, but this would still be a pain clicking 'Browse' about 20 times.
Huh. Well, you learn something new everyday. I never thought of using flash to do it (mostly because I didn't know flash could browse for multiple files).
