Hi, The following code doesn't check if the file upload box is empty. $form = new HTML_QuickForm; $form->addElement('text','description', 'Description', 'size=75'); $file =& $form->addElement('file','file', 'File', 'size=40'); $form->addElement('hidden','action','insert'); //default value is insert $form->addElement('hidden','doc_id'); $form->addElement('hidden','section_id', $page->section_id); $form->setMaxFileSize(MAX_FILE_SIZE); $form->addRule('description','Please provide a description','required'); $form->addRule('file','Please click "browse" and select a file to upload','required'); The addRule works for for all other elements except for the file element. Or am I doing something wrong? I'm using the latest stable QF. TIA,

Hi Jeroen, Did you try with 'uploadedfile' instead of required ? Thanks Bertrand, that works, I didn't know that rule existed, should have looked at the source.

Perhaps QF can throw an error if you try and use the required rule on file elements. Jeroen
