Don't hold your breath waiting for the browser developers to implement a file upload option. It's trivial, but still a pipe dream for most service providers. If the popular browsers implemented this feature, it'd make feasible a huge number of projects which are currently mothballed. I believe there's a mature RFC out there somewhere for Netscape et al to follow. rob -- http://nqcd.lanl.gov/~hartill/
