What is that file explorer window that pops up when you upload files?

Hello,

I want to know what that is, the pop up window that shows up when you upload a file.

I want to have the ability for users to upload files and I don’t know if that is something that I have to make.

I would assume that it is not as that would be a ridiculous task, I don’t even know how you would get access to a person’s computer to build the directories and what not…

Does that show up automatically if you have an upload button?

What triggers that event anyway?

Thanks for any help

@Kevin2Dec 07.2014 — The "trigger" is [B]<input type="file">[/B].

The basics of how to use it are here:

You will also need a server-side script to handle the uploads.

Success!
