[v4.0 Preview] HTML5 File Uploads

Previously, MachForm is using Flash to do file uploads, which is great because you can have progress bars, select multiple files, etc. However, the main drawback is Flash player is not available on iOS devices (iPhone/iPad) and it will fallback to that ugly standard file upload field. Not good 🙁

The new MachForm will use HTML5 to do file uploads. It has all the great features as the Flash uploader (progress bars, upload multiple files, etc) AND it works great on all mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, Androids).

Here is a screenshot of a form with file upload field accessed from the iPhone:

In summary, you’ll have far more reliable file uploads and reach much wider audience 🙂

Availability

This feature is available since MachForm v4.0
