[Zope] Re: [Zope-dev] File input retuns what type?

[Kevin Dangoor]

Here's less of a long shot:

<form method=post action=script enctype="multipart/form-data">

Make sure you have the enctype.

If that doesn't work, try:
<input type=file name="file:file">

I don't think that's necessary, but I've seen stranger things before.
