Question for the heavy-hitters:
How do they make those features where you can browse to the hard-drive to attach a file (like they do for the avatars on this site, and for attaching resumes and files on other sites)?
Is it done using Javascript ? (can something like that even be done on the client-side?)
If not, what then? (not PHP please. Ugh!)
This seems like something that would be good to know (like driving a stick-shift. Or... to take Charle's view: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://forums.webdeveloper.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4863">http://forums.webdeveloper.com/showthre ... eadid=4863</a><!-- m --> ...I'm loading-up the toolbox).
So what do they call that? Uploading? Downloading? Browse? (or does it depend on who is doing the uploading and who is getting the downloading?)
I've searched this site up and down and found only 1 place that mentioned something similar, but it referred to an ASP solution that doesn't seem to work on my server (grrrr... which really disappoints me, because I would love it to be an ASP solution), plus it loads the files into a database. Is that how it's typically done?
If I can find out what it's actually called, then maybe I can figure it out for myself (Google is just waitin' for me to punch it all in).
Alright, I've counted 10 question marks in this post (only 10?), so it's time for me to just shut-up and listen.
exceptionally curious and temporarily quiet...
