Overview

CF_MultiUploadAdvanced is a ColdFusion custom tag that presents a multiple-file upload interface in two flavours:

• DHTML Multiple File Upload Control
• ActiveX Control for selecting multiple files using the SHIFT or CTRL key.

The custom tag can be used either using the DHTML control, the Advanced Control only or both.

Note:
As the Advanced functionality of the custom tag is achieved using an ActiveX Control, the selecting of multiple files using SHIFT and CTRL is only available to Windows users running Internet Explorer.

The DHTML multiple-file upload control is available and compatible with users running Mozilla 1.4+, Mozilla Firefox 1.4+ and Internet Explorer 5+.

Who is CF_MultiUploadAdvanced For?

CF_MultiUploadAdvanced is aimed at ColdFusion developers who require a flexible and professional looking, easy to use interface for allowing visitors to upload multiple files to a web server.

Due to current browser limitations, most multiple file upload interfaces are limited to presenting the visitor with a predefined number of File Input controls. CF_MultiUploadAdvanced allows for an unlimited number of files to be uploaded at once without requiring a whole lot of screen real estate.

The ActiveX Control further enhances the functionality of the component over-coming the browser restriction of not letting users select multiple files at one time using the SHIFT or CTRL keys. The installation of this ActiveX Control is both easy and straight forward. If the component detects that the user does not have the object installed, they are prompted to a download page and a self installing executable is offered for download.

The installer installs and registers the ActiveX Control making it safe to run in the users browser. No browser security prompts and no hassle!
