Webmaster Forum / HTML, CSS, Scripts / JavaScript / November 2004

Hello,

I'm hoping someone can help me here. I've got a form that when placed on
a server running HTTPS, I get an "access denied" error in IE 6 (non-SP2
and SP-2) when a user tries to upload an image using a file upload form
control.

I read something about the onClick() event handler causing it, but I've
yet to see a fix or workaround for this. I've posted the form and
JavaScript below.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide,

-DA

<form name="myForm" enctype="multipart/form-data"
    action="index.cfm?Action=PhotoUpload" method="post">
    <label for="taDescription">Description:</label>
    <br />
    <textarea id="taDescription" name="description"></textarea>
    <p />
    <label for="fuFile">Photo to upload:</label>
    <br />
    <input id="fuFile" name="upFile" type="file" />
    <br />
    <input type="button" value="Send Now" onClick="submitForm()" />
</form>

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function submitForm()
{
    if (!document.myForm.upFile.value.length)
    {
        alert("Please select a file to upload.");
        return false;
        }
    if (!document.myForm.description.value.length)
    {
        alert("Description is required for accessibility.");
        return false;
        }
    document.myForm.submit();
}
// -->
</script>
