file upload in Pocket IE possible??

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc.phone_edition,microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

I'd like to use Pocket Internet Explorer (Pocket IE on my MDA-II
pocketpc phone edition) for uploading to the web of some files and
images.
So I made a little html page with following:

.....
<form action="http://yoursite.com/upload.php"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" size="30" name="userfile">
.....etc..


But no inputbox shows up when this html page is loaded in PIE.

Anyone an idea how else to upload files??

Which is ironic in the case of WinCE2003 with the compact framework
installed all the needed libraries are in place.

fundamentalism, fundamentally wrong.

No, they don't say that is possible at all. In fact they say
specifically it is *not* possible. WML language doesn't have any
support for file upload. None. Nada. Zip.

You have only input type=text or password available (as well as select
/ option tags and a few others). Even though you can specify the
form's enctype, there's no way to attach a file to form.

Specifically you need a file upload box to select from, and pocket IE
doesn't have one. You could try Netfront browser, and see if that
supports file upload

Opera for PPC Smartphone as just released) probably will allow more
functionalilty. So I would go to the Opera site and download that
browser (it's about 2 meg). It won't install on non-phone edition PPC
so I can't tell you for sure if it would work.

Nice lateral thinking though ;-)
