Hello. I was wondering if anyone knew how Hotmail is able to allow users
to select, attach and send files from their local machines via an html
interface and cgi scripts. I first thought that this was some sort of
activex hook, but it works in Netscape as well.
I can't see how they can force the browser to open a "browse" window from
a cgi-script. How does the browser "know"? Can LWP be used to do this?
Thanks,
Nathan Good
