There is nothing wrong with your code, you must have a server or other issue.

Here is my test code, I based off your code. It works perfectly.

<cfif isDefined('form.submit')>
	<cfdump var="#form#" />
	<cfabort />
</cfif>
 
<cfoutput>
	<cfform action="dmf.cfm" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
		<cfloop index="intFileIndex" from="1" to="3" step="1">
			<label for="file#intFileIndex#"> File #intFileIndex#: </label>
			<input type="file" name="file#intFileIndex#" id="file#intFileIndex#" /> 
			Alt Tag: <input type="text" name="alt#intFileIndex#" id="alt#intFileIndex#" size="30" />
			
			<br />
		</cfloop>
		<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload Files" />
	</cfform>
</cfoutput>

Ohh, so my page was called dmf.cfm and submits to itself.

http://code.fraser.id.au/dmf.cfm

This URL is temporary.

> Plucka

did you try it inside a CFLayout tag, i can get it to work outside but when in a cflayoutarea i get the error

> Plucka with your code this in my dump

ALT1         [empty string]
ALT2       [empty string]

oh, what type of <CFlayout are you using?

I just changed the code to use

<cflayout type="hbox">

and it works fine still.

ok i have done a mock up of the conditions i am using the form in and file1 is not being passed in this example either. could you try on that url? thanks

the above code i posted will not give the error but in the dump you will see no file is passed

Works fine, tweaked only a bit because I dont have menu etc.

just looking at your example Plucka you now have the same problem as i have.



your code url gives this in the dump. file1 is missing! ytry uploading and no file will be uploaded

ALT1         [empty string]
ALT2       [empty string]
ALT3       [empty string]
FIELDNAMES       ALT1,ALT2,ALT3,SUBMIT,_CF_CONTAINERID,_CF_NODEBUG,_CF_NOCACHE
SUBMIT       Upload Files
_CF_CONTAINERID       center
_CF_NOCACHE       true
_CF_NODEBUG       true

you will find you can not upload using cfform. change it over to just 'form' and you will see it works. but in CF8 form

So that's the answer, but not what you wanted to hear im sure.

Plucka thanks at least i have an answer been going mad for days now. searched the net and found no answer!

ok, so is there ANY way i can do this and keep the form inside the panel without using a IFRAME. i can get it to work using a 'form' but in CF8 all form open in a new window  

Hmm, it's going to be tricky. You could eiher pop open a seperate window or use an iframe. There might be a flash / flex option also.

Why don't you like the <iframe method, just for upload fields at least.

i have had problems in the pass with iframes and security so stayed away form when for years. maybe its time to revisit.

thank you for taking the time to help me sort this problem Plucka you have been a big help.

Happy you know the reason at least.

Very helpful, thanks for taking the time, i know i dont alway fully explain my self correctly.
