SUMMARY
Microsoft has released an add-on for Internet Explorer 3.02 for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 that you can use with Internet Explorer to upload files to a site on the Internet from a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) form.

MORE INFORMATION
The ability to upload files using an HTML form is possible under the Request For Comments (RFC) 1867 specification (Form-Based File Upload in HTML). Internet Explorer 3.02 does not support the RFC 1867 specification unless the add-on described in this article is installed. If the add-on is not installed, you can use the  tag to upload text to an Internet site from an HTML form, but you cannot use the  tag to upload files.

If you attempt to create a Web page that uploads files to an Internet site from an HTML form, the page may be displayed properly when the add-on is not installed, but it does not function properly when you attempt to upload files. Note that a Browse button is displayed next to the text box associated with the  tag when the add-on is installed.

For additional information about RFC 1867 support in Internet Explorer, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

"Q161395 Form-Based File Upload Support in Internet Explorer" For information about obtaining the add-on, please see the following Microsoft Web site:
