upload not working with form submit

I can get a file to upload when the form action is set to nothing, as soon as I set the form to load another page the upload stop uploading!

any ideas?

all form processing must occur on the forms action page.


if you change the forms action to post to another page, the upload file code must be moved to the other page.

so how do I set the upload action on a page that doesn't have the form on when I'm asked for the 'file field' name which is on the previous page?

go to the bindings panel and click the plus button, select form data. Click the folder icon and select your form page, this will add dynamic data bindings for the form to the other page.

Hi Jason

I'm sure its me being dense, I've done as you suggested and I can now 'see' the form on the following page, I've set the upload to happen "before page load" as I've assumed that this will upload the selected file from the previous page however, the file isn't uploaded.

what I'm trying to do is to allow the uploading of a photo and then show a thumbnail of the image on the next page. the next step is to allow the user to either save the image (to a database) or abandon it (I'll be using the delete file option from webassist/file manipulation)

I'm being stupid! I've got the image to display when its been uploaded by setting the path to the upload directory

OK, glad to hear it is working.

is there a way of only displaying the image placeholder after the image has been uploaded i.e. so you don't see a red x?

I've used Security Assist to hide the image when its loaded and to display it when its been loaded
