UPLOAD button does not seem to show on iPhone and Samsung Galaxy? Works ok though on my HTC Desire HD. What devices is this facility limited to or do I need to change my layout somehow to accommodate them?

Upload button should be disabled on iPhone (it's not supported on iPhone platform), but should work on Galaxy (works for us)

RocketRod

I will have them recheck Galaxy and let you know outcome.

What is the time frame for the iPhone? I have a prospective major retail customer who just needs this working on the iPhone so they can use my app. They want my app but do not want to switch phones for their work force. Can I assist to speed up the process? Your quick reply would be most appreciated.

We cannot do this at this stage - Apple specifically disabled HTML support for this and there doesn't seem to be a workaround for developers. Why Apple did is anyone's guess - probably some weird security reasons.

Bummer. There goes a big sale and lots of money! Not your fault though. I hate Apple and the iPhone!!

Well, let's try everything then.

Have you got the latest iPhone? Maybe they have enabled it in the latest version?

Try displaying a simple HTML like this:

and see if the Upload button is enabled on the latest one.

Also, try to Google for this issue - displaying Upload button for the HTML file fields - maybe you'll find something that we could not find.

Also, try to Google if it's possible to upload a file using Javascript. Again maybe you'll find something that we haven't.

I know someone with the latest iPhone so I will check. I'm dumb on phones so how and where do I play with html code?

I will Google research as well for you.

Prepare an HTML file and put it in the AwareIM/Tomcat/webapps/AwareIM directory - just where the logonM.html (login form for mobiles) is.

Then start the mobile browser (Safari) and type in the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/AwareIM/YourHTMLFileName.html

Did you think of or try using a 3 party iPhone app such as Picup? I see no issues with asking users to download the app if they want to utilise pictures on an iPhone.

Would this be a possibility?

Looks promising, but we need to understand better how this app works. Will post more detailed reply soon.

Yep. This should work. Please send an e-mail to support@awareim.com about further details.
