    Default Form with "upload file" facility

    Hi, I've created a form containing text fields and radio buttons and I've
    successfully managed to submit it to update a database. But now I want to
    include a file upload field to upload jpg and pdf files. How do I incorporate
    that into my form? Thanks, Darren

    Default Re: Form with "upload file" facility

    You need to do two things:
    1. Make your <FORM> tag <FORM ACTION="foo.cfm" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
    2. Code a <INPUT> tag to permit the user to brows his computer for a file:
    <INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="filename">
