Hello,

I am having a problem in Firefox where, I have a few AJAXUploader controls on a very long page towards the bottom. The problem that I am having is that the page is about 4000px high. I can see that the actual <input type='file'...> is being "hidden" by putting absolute top positioning of -3000px to put it "off" the page. The problem is that this positioning is not enough to put it off my page.

My question is, is there a way to specify any kind of inline style on the actual <input type='file'...>.

The rendered tag looks like this:

<input type="file" style="position: absolute; left: 0px; top: -3000px;" size="33"/>

I would prefer it look like:

<input type="file" style="position: absolute; left: -3000px; top: 0px;" size="33"/>

Thanks in advance,
Jason

Hi Jason,

Very interesting scenario. Unfortunately I do not see any workaround at this time. It makes perfect sense to use left instead of top. So we will change that in our next build.

Thanks

Thanks, look forward to it!

For anyone else running into the same problem, I used the following temporary workaround with CSS.

For me the file upload boxes were showing above a <div> I had on the page. I used the following three CSS declarations to fix:

z-index:10000;
position:relative;
background-color:#fff;

The key to z-index working is the position:relative declaration. Even if you are not changing the actual position of the element, you must declare the position:relative or if you are using absolute positioning already that should be okay too. Then simply add a background-color, image, etc... for the element to mask the file upload boxes.

Thanks for sharing the tip!

We have already fixed this issue internally. So the next build should be good.
