Got a situation with your asp version of cuteeditor, i'm really happy with the .net version but the asp version as a little problem if we use a form with a file field, a cuteeditor, we are forced to use a multipart/form-data post to retrive the file from the file input, but that causes the html editor to not post anything..

 

 

any fix for this situation?

Hi Pedro,

 

If you have a form as follows:

<form action="xyz.asp" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

<input type="file" name="FILE1" size="30">

<input type="text" name="def" value="0" size="10">

etc.....

You can't get the your asp page to recognize data in other form input boxes using Request.Form.

 

Here is the reason:

 

<INPUT NAME="your_picture" TYPE=FILE>

 

This type of control presents the client with a text field, and a "Browse" button that allows them to select a file on their system.

 

In order to use file-selection controls, you must set the ENCTYPE attribute of the <form> tag to "multipart/form-data" and the <form> tag's METHOD attribute to "post". 

 

 By setting the enctype attribute of the <form> tag to "multipart/form-data", you will not be able to use Request.Form to retrieve the values of the form fields.

 

You will have to write server-side code using Request.BinaryRead to read the contents of the http request, after which you will have to parse through this information and manually extract the desired field values.
