Multiple file upload controls work well in notes, but how do you know which file was selected in

which field? This bit of code will extract the filenames in to additional fields.

"<script>"+@newline+
" function filenames() {"+@NewLine+
" // code and comments are at http://www.NotesNinjas.com" + @NewLine+
" // you must have a field called FileX for each upload, so 3 uploads "+@newline+
"// fields File1 File2 File3 "+@newline+
" var filefieldnm;"+@newline+
" var filefieldcount=1;"+@newline+
"for ( i = 0; i < document.forms[0].elements.length; i++ ) { "+@newline+
"   if ( document.forms[0].elements[i].type == 'file') {"+@newline+
"       alert('val:' + document.forms[0].elements[i].value );"+@newline+
"       filefieldnm=eval('document.forms[0].File'+filefieldcount);"+
"      filefieldnm.value=document.forms[0].elements[i].value "+@newline+
"      filefieldcount++;"+@newline+
"   }"+@newline+
"}"+@newline+
"  return false; };  "+@newline+
"</script> "
