i know this ain't a programming forum, but i'm having problems with firefox while trying to send file inputs through iframes.

this is my code

<form id="popup_form_archivo" method="post" action="'subir_imagen.php" target="wk_iframe" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input name="accion" value="subirImagen" type="hidden" />
<input name="wkimg" type="file" id="popup_prompt_archivo" />
</form>
<iframe name="wk_iframe" id="wk_iframe" src="about:blank"></iframe>

i send the form inputs to the iframe called wk_iframe, i get the data from the hidden input but not the file input..

I dont know why is this happening?, because it used to work.

Works good in safarin, Opera, Chrome, But not with Firefox

I must say i love firefox and that's what i'm here..

Please help me..

I notice a single quote in action="'subir_imagen.php". Is that quote necessary?

This should still be working as the docs indicate.

Any errors showing in the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer;Ctrl+Shift+K) or Browser Console?


A good place to ask advice about web development is at the mozillaZine "Web Development/Standards Evangelism" forum.

The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.

The single quote was a mistake of mine, and as far as i can see, i'm doing everything good, why did it work before and suddenly stopped?
