you're right, it doesn't care if it is empty because zope will always construct a FileUpload object. so the test <dtml-if "_.getitem(REQUEST['file']"> will always return "true" because REQUEST['file'] will return the FileUpload object. what you're looking for can be done by asking for the name that was put into the input field. if that name is empty there was no upload. something like: <dtml-if expr="REQUEST['file'].filename != ''"> we have a file </dtml-if> jens on 3/1/01 7:06, Andrei Belitski at andrei.belitski@student.uni-tuebingen.de wrote:
Hi! Anyone knows how to verify a formular file field if it's empty from ZOPE
e.g. (doesn't function) <INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="file" SIZE="50"> ... <dtml-if "_.getitem(REQUEST['file']"> getitem seem not to worry about if it were empty
Thank you in advance! Andrei
