This doesn't work in NS, but I have made a workaround that consists on telling the user that it's a feature needed to double-check that the images to send are the right ones (hehe). I hope this helps, 'cause there's no other way I have found to overcome the problem. Other than this, sending dynamically-generated forms all over the wire is ok with all the navigators I have tested so far (NS4.x+ and IE4.x+) and I use them extensively in my project. Raides J. |
