[bruce barker]

the browser will not allow this feature for security reasons. the filname is
readonly. you must supply an active/x control to support this feature.

Generally, you do not want your users to be able to upload more than 5 files
at a time. This is both for performance and security. Anyhow, the best thing
I can think of is using multiple file upload controls or writing something
custom on the client side to dynamically create and populate a multipart
encoded form.
