thoughts on adding attachments...

Hi Gang,

I'm a definite novice in the realm of Java so I'm not real sure what's out there, but I've built this Bugtracker using Servlets/XML/XSL under Apache/Jserv/MS-SQL7. One of the feature requests is to have a GUI-driven method for attaching files to the bugs (screenshots, files, etc). I've found file upload classes that I could use, but I need something akin to windows browse dialog where they can browse to the file and not have to enter their local file path. Is there an applet out there that can do this? Someone recommended an Active-X control (intranet app, so IE is fine)... any thoughts?

I welcome all thoughts/suggestions. Commercial or freeware is fine.

Thanks!

What? Are you too good for the file upload feature of HTML? j/k, try this. It is just plain HTML.

<input type=&quot;file&quot; name=&quot;filename&quot;>

Doesn't get much easier than that. Remember to set your Form type to multipart/form-data.
