[Cartoweb-users] Upload georeferenced images with Edition plugin

[Oliver Christen]

Hi Igor

The error you get seem to come from a javascript security violation.
Line 561 is when you set sbm1.value="userfile";
But why are your trying to set a value to the file input ?
As far as I know you are not allowed to set a file value via javascript, 
only a user can select manualy a file.

I suggest you try make your file upload formular works as a stand alone 
application (outside of cartoweb).

Once it works, you can call it from a link that would be generated in the 
dhtmlEdit.js.
To performe javascript action between the popup and the "parent" window, you 
simply have to give a name to the popup when creating it.
Have a look at 
http://www.javascript-coder.com/window-popup/javascript-window-open.phtml
Here is an example:
mywindow = window.open 
("http://www.foo.com","mywindow","location=1,status=1,scrollbars=1,width=100,height=100");
>From the popup you can access (call functions) the parent by using 
windows.opener, see http://www.webreference.com/js/tutorial1/opener.html for 
more infos.

There are plenty of tutorial on the web about file upload and javascript 
popup handling, you shouldnt have much problem to do what you want.

regards
Oliver
