Chrome keeps prompting twice for a file upload when it should only prompt once. What's wrong with my code?

I can check it on a Mac with Chrome if it is public. And I can look over your source if you post it to something like Pastebin.

If you can post a link to it, please do. I would like to take a look at how it differs from the code for upload buttons which I know to work fine in Chrome as well as all other browsers. If you can’t post it publically, PM us on a sample as @Not_the_CIA suggests.

I can post it publicly, it’s just a simple personal project to teach myself PHP + MySQL.

I can post more if you would like, however this is the most relevant section.

That code looks okay. There must be some Javascript causing the retrigger. This may happen if you’ve added a feature to auto-submit the form after a user selects a file.

Your label around the file input isn’t closed, just missing a slash.

<label for=“file”>Image:<label>
<label for=“file”>Image:</label>

A validator will help you track down stuff like this more quickly.

I usually just use one in my browser

Good luck with the project!

Wow, I didn’t catch that. Nice, @funkdaddy!

@funkdaddy Thank you so very much. This has been bugging me to no end.

@funkdaddy Good catch. @haegenschlatt when what seems like perfectly good HTML won’t work right in one browser, the validator is generally the first place to head. Unclosed tags can definitely throw a wrench in the works. Each browser has its own error correction algorithms, and tries to second guess what the HTML author really meant when it hits invalid code. So when one browser guesses wrong, the result is squirrely behavior.
