Ajax Multi-Upload Utility

StickBlog has written a great little Ajax-based file upload utility. You can set the number of files allowed at a time, and as you upload, the display is updated with the current files, which you can remove and replace at will.

Now, if only I had the time to re-write the Attach Files plugin for WordPress by Gordon Knoppe to use this… THAT would be cool!

  1. 1 Tired of the buzzwords

    It’s NOT ajax. DOM != AJAX

    Hey, I don’t make up the inaccurate buzzwords, I just use them… Otherwise people don’t know what the hell I’m talking about. Simple phrases… simple phrases…

    If you say “JavaScript DOM Multi-Upload Utility”, people don’t know what the hell you’re talking about… not to mention it’s 5x longer. Just say “Ajax Multi-Upload Utility” and people instantly know what you mean. Besides, a JavaScript multi-upload utility could use JavaScript to perform many different things, such as permissions and extensions checking, etc. “Ajax” implies a specific type of non-refresh JavaScript loading technique.

    So it may be an annoying buzzword we hear all too much these days (believe me, I feel the same), but the fact of the matter is, this buzzword communicates a more accurate description of a broad category of possible JavaScript effects and uses.

    You’re entitled to your opinion, just as I am. At least I took the time to explain mine. Calling the opposing view “complete horseshit” does little to further your cause, merely making you seem more like a “complete idiot”.

    Hey, I don

    haha trust me I actually typed out a couple nice paragraphs responding to some of your statements in the 9/28 response.

    Then I looked again at the first line :

    So why do you bother? Really, what’s the point? You come on my blog, insult my posts, and don’t even bother to defend yourself when I confront you about it, simply insult me further?

    I gotta say, I think this is all saying a whole lot more about you than it is me. When I get in an arguement, I typically try to explain my point of view, in the hopes that people will at least see where I’m coming from (even if they still don’t agree with my perspective). You, on the other hand, simply spit out slurs and insults. Gee, wonder which of us has a better chance of “winning” this one…

    I highly doubt you ever had anything resembling a “nice paragraph” explaining your contrary opinion. I also highly doubt that, given your previous commentary here, anyone would respect such an opinion if you were, by some act of $DEITY, to come up with such material.

    If you’re not a big enough man to step up to the plate and try to defend your point of view, your point of view must not be worth the time defending. If it’s not worth the time to defend it, why waste even more time spouting random, meaningless insults at the author of a contrary opinion when you could be off jacking off in a Dixie cup and watching your gay lover drink it?

    I really just fail to see the point… But that’s just me, I suppose. Obviously for 13 year old trolls like yourself, such activities allow you to derrive some kind of saddistic justification of your own worthless life…

    Run away little one… return to mommy’s basement, from whence ye came!

    haha I was right in deciding not to “defend” my point.
    You were putting up a good “defense” and mature then all of a sudden dove into retard mode and got nasty
    hmmm…
    “jacking off in a Dixie cup and watching your gay lover drink it?”
    Sorry that happened to you, I hope your dad has stopped doing that to you.

    That was actually a take-off on a Jay and Silent Bob quote, but I guess I’m over a few peoples’ heads there… At the last moment, I decided this entire thing was so laughably ridiculous that I had to throw something in there to at least make myself laugh, otherwise I’d just start ignoring you entirely.

    I’m still waiting for you to take a step forward and defend your point, if you can… Any time now, bubba…

    meh, dude you’re too obsessed with this “defend yourself” thing.
    I plead “no contest” when I saw your 9/28 response.

    Again I plead “No Contest”

    BTW, you didn’t make up the buzzword “asp.net” did you ?
    so why not call it that ?!
    Funny you seem to admit it’s not accurate to call it Ajax but refuse to correct it. A bit stubborn, no ?
    see ya

    I don’t see anywhere that I said it wasn’t accurate to call it “Ajax”. I said it was annoying, yes, but my point was that it is more accurate to call it “Ajax” rather than “Javascript”. Ajax implies instantly (thanks to buzzwordiness) a non-refreshing functionality. Since it’s more accurate, there’s nothing to correct…

    And yes, I’m obsessed with defending your opinion. If you’re going to come on my blog and bash me for my opinion, you should be prepared to offer a counter-argument. If you’re not prepared to do so, I’d prefer you not say anything at all. Seems reasonable to me, no?
