Just to preface my question with letting you know I am very new to this and have not done coding in about 15 years so be gentle :)

I have created an ezine and have many kinks worked out but a way to allow clients to submit their own photos, documents, graphics for ads.

I am trying to create a 'submit file' button that accepts pdf, jpg, png, doc, docx files to be uploaded and sent to me somehow - not sure if this gets sent into an email box or a folder. Also wish to have record of all files sent, when they are sent and from whom.

Currently they fill out a form (used google docs for simplicity sakes) and then use Paypal to pay for advertisements. I have no way to also allow doc uploads during the form filling out process.

I am so new that I am attempting all of these theatrics using iWeb09. I upload via built in ftp so I do not have the files on my computer. This ezine gets uploaded many times a day at this point and eventually weekly/monthly. (One reason I havent added a favicon yet - would have to upload each time I made a change).

SO if any of you can help me - MUCH appreciated!

The link does help. I see how to create the actual user side images/code

Since I am using upload via ftp in iWeb09 where do I enter the rest of the code which tells the files where to go? (and thus where I would go to retrieve them?)

Just a thought - Is there any way to have the images upload to a file using iDisk in my public file?

TIA
