Ajax Programming :: Simultaneous IFrame And XMLHTTPRequest Call?


	Simultaneous IFrame And XMLHTTPRequest Call? Hi. I am uploading large files through a hidden IFrame. This part is completed and I have no problems with it. I also am trying to poll the server as the file gets uploaded for progress. I am trying to do this via XMLHTTPRequest but I am finding this diffucult. I am starting to wonder if the nature of the IFrame Call is making it hard to execute a propper ajax-style request? question: can i execute a normal XMLHTTPRequest while uploading via hidden IFrame or should i be polling the server "through" the hidden IFrame? In either case, any additional information (and/or code) about how to do this would be appreciated. Regards. Peter What is your serverside language?

Thanks for the reply. I am using ASP.NET and VB.NET with VBScript and JavaScript on the client.

I am doing this via hidden iframe because i couldnt make it work (and read that it doesnt work) using xmlhttp requests. So, now I am trying to figure out how to count bytes "as" the upload is happening. Is making a RPC via the hidden iframe my best bet or is there an easier way to poll using XMLHTTP that I havent found yet? Thanks for your help.

You might want to try my open source NeatUpload component: http://www.brettle.com/neatupload Since you are uploading to a hidden iframe, I think you'll need to use the development snapshot, which is currently: http://www.brettle.com/Data/Sites/1/NeatUpload-trunk.425.zip The server-side code for your hidden iframe would access UploadHttpModule.Files[0] to get the file that was uploaded. For details, see the docs\Manual.html included in the zip file. Good luck, --Dean
