[Zope] how to upload a batch of files????

[Robert Rottermann]

Thank you for your Tips,
I was not aware of the load_site tool. I  will have a look at it. (however
it seems not to be zope based)

I have been pondering drag an drop before without yet getting to a decent
solution.
However my real problem is that I must somehow initiate the file transfer by
simulating the user imitated file selection/transfer.

I am just wondering if I could have a html form with a prefilled input tag
of type file and a "submit on load" JavaScript.

I will try this tomorrow. Would be scary if it works.

Guet nacht mittenand
Robert
