Have you tried iframes? IOW, you only change css visibility before
submitting.

Subject: [Javascript] HTML Form-Based file upload problem....


hello,
i'm stuck with a problem related to HTML form-based file upload. The
FORM looks like:

<FORM method="POST" action="/cgi-bin/upload.pl"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" size="60" name="upfile">
<input type="submit" value="Upload">
</FORM>

The problem is that i want to display a message on the SAME browser
window, REPLACING the browser window contents.... telling the user
that File Upload has started as soon as a user clicks on the "Upload"
Submit button.

Every time i try a document.write("<my Message>"); using the
onClick() or the onSubmit() methods of JavaScript, file upload fails
Also, if i have a "print" statement embedded within the "upload.pl"
perl script to be returned to the browser before i capture the HTTP
packets and write my data to disk, it is displayed only AFTER the
upload has finished and not as soon as the user has clicked on the
Upload button....

Anybody with any suggestion, comments ???

TIA,
Asid.
