Simultaneous post/get?

Hi gang: What I am trying to do is after the user has selected an image to upload, I want to display a gif while a file is being uploaded. (The gif can be seen at: http://xn--ovg.com/a4.php ) I am trying to use ajax to accomplish this. The following statement works great and does what I want: <input type="submit" value="Submit" onClick="javascript:sndReq()" > However, when I place the statement within a form, like thus -- <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000"> <input type="hidden" name="stage" value="1"> <input type="submit" value="Submit" onClick="javascript:sndReq()" > </form> -- the statement appears to no longer work. The ajax script is using a 'get' and this form is using 'post' -- is this something that can't be done (.e., simultaneous post/get) or am I doing it wrong, or what's happening here? Any ideas, suggestions, explanations, or comments welcomed? Thanks in advance for your time. tedd -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
