Has anyone encountered an error with the new Netscape with regard to CFFILE? IT seems that when you try to upload a file it gives an error as if the form encoding type wasn't set to "enctype="multipart/form-data" which it is. Here is the error:

=====================
Error in CFFILE tag

The form field specified in the CFFILE tag (FILE) does not contain an uploaded file. Please be sure that you have specified the correct form field name.
=====================

Should the encoding type be set differently for Netscape 6? How would I do this?

Which browsers have you tested your code with besides Netscape? Also, could you post the code for your form that you're uploading with along with the cffile code that handles it? I haven't heard of any Netscape 6 bug and didn't see any references to it on the Allaire forums.

I've tested the code with IE 5.5 and Netscape 4 and it works fine. Here is the code of the page where the user can upload the file (below this is the code of the actual template that processes the upload):

Hmm.. I don't see anything that looks suspicious so my first step would be to strip everything else away and try it in it's most basic form. If this doesn't work, then I would guess it's a browser or cf tag bug. Sometimes the industry follows a convention although it's not part of the spec and then someone begins adhering to the standard and things break.

I don't have a way to test Netscape 6 at the moment so try this and let me know what happens. Put each one in a file just as I have it below so there's no JS or other coding to possibly confuse the issue. I've changed the file field name in case there's a reserved word problem and I changed the directory to &quot;c:\&quot; to remove the variable directory.

Let me know what happens,
GJ

<INPUT TYPE=&quot;file&quot; NAME=&quot;upFile&quot;>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot;
</form>

It works now--I didn't change anything however. Thanks a lot GJ.

hehe, nothing like the coding gremlins ;)

I would be though that it was an issue with NS that was reset once you closed it out and restarted. I use NS 4.7 and I routinely have problems with it not displaying things correctly and sometimes not even letting me click on a hyperlink. Whenever I see something strange that doesn't make sense, I'll close and re-open NS and the problem goes away a good percentage of the time.

Yeah, NS is weird like that.
