File attachment widget with Javascript
http://www.peterbe.com/plog/file-attachment-widget/test.html25th of February 2005
The Gmail user interface has a good way of dealing with file attachments that I would like to incorporate into the IssueTrackerProduct Add Issue page to make it easier and more flexible to use.
Unlike Gmail, the IssueTrackerProduct can't rely on Javascript so this has to work equally well in Lynx, IE or Firefox. The Lynx people will have to do with the existing interface where you get a list of file attachment inputs. The people with Javascript support will get a hyperlink that when clicked shows a file input box.
Without further ado, please have a test
Did it work?
Was it user-friendly do you think?
Do you prefer the old fashioned input?
The idea is that the Javascript is to be driven by server logic (e.g. Zope) because the server defines a maximum number of file uploads and the form input should reflect this.
Some work is still needed to make this more compact and easily deployable but for now, please give me your feedback on what you've seen.
