Hi,

I have a problem whereby a form used to upload files works fine on all the computers in my company, but when I went to a customer site this morning, I couldn't get the file upload button to bring up the dialog displaying the files on the local pc.

The button is a standard input type="file", and viewing the source code on the customer machine, proved the code running in the browser is exactly what I would expect it to be.

The versions of IE are exactly what we specified and exactly the same as we use, so has anybody got any ideas as to why the button doesn't work?

Thanking you in advance

I have tried this with both NS and IE and have no problems getting the dialog box up and exploring the system...it might be that the IE settings are not allowing the upload...it is the only thing I can think of

sorry
