Mark and Rick,

Just to let you guys know, I've added a file upload button to the framework
and it works great.  You just click on it to display a file selection
dialog, and then you can use the OnChange event handler to track when the
file is selected/changed and the FileName property to retrieve the name of
the file.  I also made some changes to the panels/forms so that they can
also serve as a straight-up HTML form, if needed.  You can just
programmatically call a Submit method to submit a form to the back-end, and
all of the controls within that panel/form will get submitted.  This makes
it much easier to do simple "contact us" forms, especially with a PHP
back-end application.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Tim,

Sounds brilliant and I like the "form submission" capability too. I guess that the new upload button also has a URL that can be configured appropriately prior to submission?

In respect of the form submission, it might be worth considering (if you haven't already) the ability to submit only those  controls that are visible. This would allow the creation of forms that have "folding sections" based on specific entries e.g. a checkbox that says do you wish to add additional details would show a memo for the additional details when checked and hide it if not checked. The memo would only get submitted if visible at the point of submission. Just a thought, no big deal.

Cheers
Mark

Ah, I like the sound of these.

Scratch my previous (the bit about submission based on visibility). What was I thinking!
