[Seaside] Value of a fileUpload element?

[Jan van de Sandt]

Hello list,

I am creating a form which includes a fileUpload element. Whenever the user
changes the file I want to receive a callback with the new filename so I can
do some server-side changes like setting the correct Content-Type etc.

I am using Seaside 2.9.0-alpha2 with JQuery.

Currently the fileUpload code looks like this:

            html paragraph: [
                html fileUpload
                    id: (uploadId := html nextId);
                    name: 'file';
                    onChange: ((html jQuery id: 'pid') load
                        addParameter: 'dummy' -> ((html jQuery id: uploadId)
value);
                        html: [ :h | self hanldeNewFile: h. h text: 'Haai'
])].

I can add the filename to the callback url using addParameter: but I don't
know how to read this parameter from the callback Smalltalk code. I also
tried to "serialize" the fileUpload element but this doesn't seem to work
for file input elements.

Can anobody tell me how I can read the parameter value from the callback
block?

Regards,
Jan.
