Shane, thanks for your effort!

I have to test this in a different way. The seam-space example from Seam 2.0.1.GA doesn't work in my Internet Explorer 6 neither. Do you just have an idea which of the thousands of configuration possibilities of IE is maybe disabled/enabled? I thought I had the default setting because I don't use IE ;-)

By the way: I tried to install the example with "ant tomcat.deploy" in Tomcat, but at start up I get the message:

Error listenerStart
Context [/jbosss-seam-space] startup failed due to previous errors

I will not look into this further, it's just fyi.

I tried it now out on two other PCs with IE6 and Firefox. It doesn't work on IE6 and Firefox 1.0, neither for my application nor for the seamspace example from 2.0.1.GA. On Firefox 2 it's ok.

There are no script errors.

This is my xhtml:

I finally found out the reason why I had the problems in my application with IE6.

First, I added a <rich:calendar> tag inside the <h:form enctype="multipart/form-data"> in my xhtml. In the code above I removed this tag to shorten the code.... the result was a form in a form. Firefox can handle this, IE not. Silly error.

Second, the Seam Wiki example contains in its third part
http://linuxbeans.blogspot.com/2007/10/image-handling-in-seam-apps-part-iii.html a scale() method with

...
 String formatName = "";
 if ("image/png".equals(contentType))
 formatName = "png";
 else if ("image/jpeg".equals(contentType))
 formatName = "jpeg";
...
