uploads on chrome
Since Chrome came out I've had trouble uploading images and files from it here on my blog site. It has to do with the ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" on the forms and the way that's handled. The server components that my hosting provider supplies to do file uploads use a syntax to retrieve form variables that Chrome just doesn't support. It works fine, and has always worked, on any version of Firefox or IE, but it does not on Safari or Chrome. I think it is likely an issue on WebKit. May very well be by design (in fact, most likely it is), but it creates a problem nevertheless. I should just re-write all the scripts behind the site in PHP or Python, but I don't see having the time to do so any time soon.
What I have done instead, since it's annoyed me for a while, is piece together a quick ASP upload script, no server components, so I can handle everything on my own. Took me a minute to get up to speed on VBScript syntax again (nightmarish flashbacks), but after that in about 15 min, voila, I can do uploads from Chrome as well
