I don't think it is possible.

You use the the HTML input file control and when you post the request, on the web server you need to read the data and save it to a file, so there has to be some interaction with the server to handle the post request.

Not possible via JavaScript, by design.

thanks

ok then shall it be possible with http put method?

It's fairly certain that we'll never see a client side method for automating file uploads. The security concerns are just too great.

If you use a custom ActiveX control you can do it (think Windows Update), but it's impossible in JavaScript.

Xml Script

Hello,

I am working through an older book for Atlas which is referring to xml scripting. It does not seem to work with AJAX ASP.NET 1.0. Has this functionality been removed? If not, where can I get more information about it.

Thanks,

Mark

Hi,

yes, XML script isn't part of ASP.NET AJAX 1.0. You can find it in theASP.NET Futures package.
