Hi,
I'm using FileUpload in MODx Revolution 2.x within a <form> as described below but nothing happens when I upload a file. I don't get any error message. If I put the FileUpload outside the <form> it works.
What do I need to do to make it work within a form. I need to display a form in the front-end to let users update some fields. Any help is most than welcome as I'm stuck...
Thanks for your time and help.

<form action='[[~[[*id]]]]' method='POST' id='addAdForm'>
.......
[[!FileUpload? &filefields=`1``]]
.................
<input  type='submit' name='bannerBottomAdd' value='Add'
</form>

I think what is happening is that [[!FileUpload]] creates its own form thus you end up with a form within a form which is not valid html and the browser does not know what to do.

As to what to do - you either need to redesign your page so that you can have two separate forms, or hack FileUpload, or write your own snippet that will work inside a form

Thanks for your reply. You're right I cannot use a form within a form. I've changed the FileUpload script and it works fine now
