Add two "file upload" buttons (BROWSE) so that users can directly upload texts files with the gene list without cutting and pasting. The problem I am having: -how to get the site to 'choose' to use only one source of data when it is uploaded via the text boxes or the file upload? -how to deal with the fact that the CGI variable type is different depending on whether the uploaded item is a text list or a file. It seems to me the file may have to be opened first and the contents put into $pop_genes for the script to work. This still leaves the question of how to ignore the textbox input however... Below are the relevant lines from the site: HTML Page <form method="post" action="[login to view URL]" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"> <textarea name="pop_genes" rows="10" cols="85"> </textarea> CGI-SCRIPT my $pop_genes = $query->param("pop_genes"); ... open(NFF, ">$scratch_dir/pop_genes.$$"); print NFF $pop_genes; close(NFF); I am looking for a simple and elegant solution that does not involve any extra software, paradigms, frameworks or other fancy add-ons. Just a simple and straightforward solution in perl or javascript. The relevant HTML and CGI files are available here: 1 - The most straightforward and simple fix will win the bid. 2 - The page must work with most browsers and OS's ## Deliverables The cgi script and the html form involved are provided in a zipped archive. The perl application itself that receives the arguments is also provided for reference as well as documentation about it. A previous version of the application website is here: [login to view URL] The current website that needs work is here: [login to view URL]
