HOWTO: Use Action property

Action property specifies URL of server upload script processing uploaded files. There are two ways to specify this URL: absolute and relative.

Suppose, we have the page http://www.aurigma.com/I...oaderSample/default.aspx containing Image Uploader.

Let us see how to specify the URL to upload script upload.aspx using different ways:

1. Absolute path
   Using this way you need to pass full URL to upload.aspx script via Action property:
   
   Code:

   iu.addParam("Action", "http://www.aurigma.com/ImageUploaderSample/upload.aspx");

2. Relative path
   
   a. If you specify the path to upload.aspx using this way:
   
   Code:

   iu.addParam("Action", "/upload/upload.aspx");

   
   It means that upload.aspx will be requested by URL: http://www.aurigma.com/upload/upload.aspx.
   
   b. If you use this method:
   
   Code:

   iu.addParam("Action", "./upload/upload.aspx");

   
   So your upload script will be: http://www.aurigma.com/I...ample/upload/upload.aspx.
   
   c. In this case:
   
   Code:

   iu.addParam("Action", "upload/upload.aspx");

   
   You can find upload.aspx on server by this URL: http://www.aurigma.com/I...ample/upload/upload.aspx.
   
   d. If you point the path to upload.aspx like this one:
   
   Code:

   iu.addParam("Action", "upload.aspx");

   
   It means that your upload.aspx file is here: http://www.aurigma.com/I...loaderSample/upload.aspx.
