rich:fileUpload does not work properly in IE6 - Please hel

[justadreamer2007]

Hi! I am very frustrated with the rich:fileUpload perforamance in IE6 - it does not work properly even on the http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/fileUpload.jsf?c=fileUpload

only single file is uploaded, but no onuploadcomplete event is fired, and the indicator hangs in the initial state. So to see the file you just uploaded - you have to manually refresh page - otherwise (because a4j:support does not work in ie6 either) the components are not refreshed. I saw an issue about a4j:support posted to jboss JIRA - seems it was not fixed although closed http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/RF-2853?page=all

Again this is an issue only in IE6. fileUpload works fine in ie7, opera, safari and mozilla firefox.

I wil greatly appreciate if anybody suggests some quick fix/solution, because there is simply no time to dig in and patch the component so it works correctly in ie6. Thanks in advance.

Any updates on this?

I guess nobody uses IE6 by now )).

And another thing. After update from richfaces-3.2.0.SR1 to richfaces-3.2.1.GA - the upload stopped working at all in any browser - it just says Transfer error occuried (it is misspelled too - should say occurred).

I've found that its not that only the first file is uploaded - its that every other file is 'skipped'. The fileupload widget claims that it is done, but the file is not uploaded. The demo page has exactly the same problem...

OS: Windows 2000 Professional
Browser: IE6

Note: works fine with firefox, IE7 (although IE7 has a CSS bug, I think).

Csweeney,

This is known issue. It was fixed in 3.2.2.

justadreamer2007,


I think your problem is similar issue that was fixed also in 3.2.2.

Please try 3.2.2 SNAPSHOT.
If issue still presents post it to JIRA.

Thanks.

[csweeney]

Indeed, fixed in 3.2.2.BETA4 (not sure about prior snapshots). Thanks!

My only problem at the moment is that my Selenium tests are failing when doing a file upload, but I think that I need to do something different with my test. Thanks again.

Are you sure that Selenium can upload files?

If yes please post your test here.

Thanks in advance.
