XUpload - LOVE Upload Pro. Two questions....

[mcoyle1960]

I've been hacking around upload_form.html and there are two things I'd like to do.

1. Increase the size of the Browse text input box.

I added a size to the following line, but after putting one file in the queue, it reverts to a smaller box:

input id="my_file_element" type="file" size=40 name="file_1"

2. After an upload is complete, the Progress Bar holds for second and stats appear by Stop Upload button. I'd like those stats to display for about 5 seconds before the redirect loads.

Thanks,
Michael

Thank you!

1. Actually file input width set 100% by CSS. So if you want to increase width of whole form, change width manually in this line:

Code: Select all

FIELDSET {width: 400px;

2. Ok. Then you need to pause upload.cgi. Open upload.cgi, find this line:

Code: Select all

&lmsg("DONE\n");

and add below

Code: Select all

sleep 5;

Cool. Problerm #2 solved with the SLEEP command, but I must not have explained myself clearly on the first one.

The only item I want to make wider it the first form text area. In the top half of picture below, the box is how I want it, but after I add an item (lower part of the picture) the text area input box shrinks.

Thanks for your help.

I guess you use FireFox browser...cause in IE & Opera it looks fine. FF don't apply CSS to file field somehow, but I've just made a quick fix: in xupload.js find

Code: Select all

new_element.type = 'file';

and add below

Code: Select all

new_element.size = element.size;

Voila! New file fields will be same size as 1st one.

Thank you! XUpload just became better

Of course I use Firefox!! (Let's start a flamewar)

Glad to have helped!

I know your program isn't OSS, but because you offer the 'source code' any user can hack around and either find bugs or make suggestions that eventually make the code better. Everyone benefits!

Thanks again. Your script gives my little (soon to be open) website a professional look.
