[Zope] verify whether html <input type=file... is empty

[James Sintz]

Andrey,

One way would be to simply test for it on your form action page.

<dtml-if "image_1 == ''">
  <p>Sorry! You need to include an image.</p>
<dtml-else>
  <dtml-call "manage_addImage( id=imageId, file=REQUEST[ image_1],
REQUEST=REQUEST )">
</dtml-if>
