input type=file in simple html2 webView

wxPython Users
1

Hi,

I am new to wxPython and just wanted to create a really simple webview that allows for uploading of a file using an HTML tag. But it never pops up the file dialog for me to upload like it does in a browser.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Note I want to keep it as a webview for now so I can use the same code for a standard web upload.

Code I am using is:

***HTML

Upload new File

Upload new File

<form action="" method=post enctype=multipart/form-data>

  <p>Title <input type=text name=title></p>

  <p>Description <input type=text name=description></p>

  <p>Category <select name=category>

		<option value=""></option>

	<li><em>Unbelievable.  No entries here so far</em>

</select>

  <p>Source <select name=source>

		<option value=""></option>

	<li><em>Unbelievable.  No entries here so far</em>

</select>

  <p><input type=file name=file>

     <input type=submit value=Upload>

***Python

import wx

import wx.html2

class MyBrowser(wx.Dialog):

def init(self, *args, **kwds):

wx.Dialog.init(self, *args, **kwds)

sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)

self.browser = wx.html2.WebView.New(self)

sizer.Add(self.browser, 1, wx.EXPAND, 10)

self.SetSizer(sizer)

self.SetSize((700, 700))

if name == ‘main’:

app2 = wx.App()

dialog = MyBrowser(None, -1)

dialog.browser.LoadURL(“http://localhost:9005/”)

dialog.Show()

app2.MainLoop()

First try with well formed html - every

should have a
matching

, every
  • should have a
    • ,

  • s should only occur within a
      ...
    or
      ...
    block and most of all. Then you might have a hope of your code working.

    What package are you using to serve the web page? The HTML is mostly
    correct (except for the missing <html> tags, and that the <title> tag
    should be in a <head> section). It certainly works in Firefox.

    Does the Browse button do anything at all when you push it?

    I’m guessing you didn’t even read his code, because all his tags DO
    match.
