Hi,

 

I've created an ASPX form and have added a UploadAttachements control.

 

Is there any way that I can automatically invoke the upload button and display the file browser dialog when my page loads?

 

Many thanks,

Tim

You can try the 'startbrowse' method of the uploader object :

 

<script>

var uploader=document.getElementById('<%=Uploader1.ClientID%>');

uploader.startbrowse();

</script>

 

But it will not work for :

Silverlight v3.0

Flash v10

Hi Terry,

 

Many thanks for your reply.

 

I've created a function using your javascript and have attached it  to the onload() event of my form.

 

However, I get the the following javascript error on the uploader.startbrowse(); line when the page loads.

 
Message: Object doesn't support this property or method

If I call the same function from the onclick event of a hyperlink on the page, a blue panel appears on the page with an exclamation mark icon and the message 'File Browsing Dialog has been blocked'. There is hyperlink beneath this error message with the title 'Please click here and try again'. If I click on the hyperlink, the open file dialog opens successfully.

 

Is there anything else that I can try in order to get this working on the load of the form?

 

Thanks,

Tim

Tim,

 

The AjaxUploader may still loading.

 

 

Please try this :

 

function CuteWebUI_AjaxUploader_OnInitialize()
{

    var hidden=this;

    hidden.startbrowse();

}

Thanks Terry,

 

That works fine now! 

 

With the code above, I was still getting the 'File Browsing has been blocked' dialog but following the thread below and setting the uploadType to Iframe has resolved that.

Thanks once again,

Hi,

 

We you use IFrame mode , in firefox it still will not show the dialog because Firefox do not allow the file.click() function.

 

And when you use IFrame mode, it will not support multiple select feature .

Terry

 

Thanks Terry,

 

Are there any plans to support the multiple select feature in Iframe mode in future releases?

 

Tim

No. the IFrame mode use <input /> to show the dialog , it only support 1 file.

 

But you can show some description text , to let the users click the button again and again .

 

When MultipleFilesUpload=true , the IFrame mode still support file upload queue.

 

Continue selecting a file , that file will be added into that queue.

 

Regards,
Terry

ok - thanks Terry
