Good question. To be honest it's been a while since I looked, I built a file upload function as part of a standard set of functions that I include in projects and then stopped worrying about it. As a result it's been a some time since I looked at that sort of thing. I recall including it for a reason but don't exactly recall the reason. > AFAICT from the manual that tag is only to advise the > browser to limit the size of the file being uploaded, > nothing to suggest that the absence of the > tag would prevent uploading. I guess that anything that causes this sort of thing to happen on the browser is going to help. I know I'd be fairly unimpressed if I sat waiting for a 2MB file to upload only to find that the limit is 1.5MB or some such. At least if a client-side limit is given the browser can do something about it. Not that I actually recall testing that either - I've so far only used file upload capabilities on intranet projects where I have fully switched 100MB and the like. CYA, Dave
