It's not as if there arn't plenty of applications that repeatedly upload the same file. It's in everybody's interest to do so. The programmer and his manager benefit because the code is cleaner and easier to maintain. Information is delivered to the server that's more accurate, as the user interface is cleaner. The company dosen't care if a single application uses a little extra bandwidth. Even the user benefits because using the web, even with repeated uploads, is still faster than snail-mail. The network is the only loser. (BTW, www-html@w3.org just pointed out to me that it's optional that the upload widget accept an initial value from the server. So these apps may not always work. But they do work now, which is all anybody cares about.) Well, that about beats this subject to death. Thanks for your help. Karl <kop@meme.com>
