    <p>I'm working with AJAX uploads. As IE doesn't have the required object, I'll have to make a workaround with iframes.</p> <p>On theory, it's pretty simple:</p> <ol> <li>Create a form and an iframe</li> <li>Change the form's target and iframe's name attribute</li> <li>When the input file field changes, the form will be submitted</li> </ol> <p>Additionally, as the input file field sucks, it would be nice to have an "Upload" button that triggers the click event of the hidden input file field to open the file select dialog.</p> <p>Yeah, that was theory. In reality, it's way worse. First, IE8 somehow doesn't like cloned iframes, so we'll have to append each one on the go. Then, the file input field gets cleared when the submit is attempted.</p> <p>I figured out what happens and when and it's pretty ugly.</p> <p>Head to <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/uf2pJ/3/" rel="nofollow">this example</a> and it works pretty good. The form gets cloned, the file field has data and the form is submitted. However, the file input has no name attribute, and I can't access it on the server side.<br> So I added the attribute, <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/uf2pJ/4/" rel="nofollow">here's the example</a> and this is what happens: the file field is cleared. Just because the name attribute.</p> <p>It might be a dumb question, but is there a workaround with this? I'm well aware that if the file input field gets selected, it can trigger an auto upload, but I'm wondering if I can without requiring an actual click to the file field, just as in every sane browser.</p> <p>Thanks.</p>

    1. COI believe that is it a security measure built into IE 8 that does not allow you to access the name attribute of input[type=file].

    3. CO@Ivan I'm not trying to access it. @el chief, yeah, I know there are a lot of libraries, but I like not relying on flash and I actually enjoy doing it myself.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
