Hi guys,



How does file-upload work ?
Why do frameworks and/or servers have special tags to indicate file-uploads ?

Thanks................

Hi,

A form in an HTML document (Web page) can contain an input element with type="file". This may let the user include one or more files into the form submission. The form is often processed so that such files are stored onto the disk of the Web server; this is why file input (or file submission) is often called “file upload.” File input opens interesting possibilities, but browser support is still limited and generally of poor quality even in newest versions. Moreover, users are often puzzled with it, since most people use file input rather rarely.
