Can no longer upload pictures IE9? Flash required?
I've been uploading pictures to 3D Vision Live for awhile now but tonight I couldn't. When I go to the create image/jps page there is no button to browse for images under the "Select your JPS image" header! The "Fill out image description" section looks fine.

I used IE9's developer feature to make a hidden file input field visible and selected a file with it but no javascript kicked in to actually upload the file. There are a couple of div's after the input field that don't appear to have anything in them at all. I expect that's where the problem lies.

Again using the dev features, I switched IE9 to use IE8 rules and even IE7 rules. Still no button.

I only got IE9 a week or so ago so ago. It's working fine everywhere else on 3D Vision Live as far as I can tell. I also uninstalled Flash and Adobe. Could one of those be required? It sure doesn't look like it in the code. I'm thinking this is some sort of bug with the uploader page.

I re-installed Flash and now it works fine. Uploading definitely requires Flash (specifically, class ID D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000) so you might want to mention that fact on the page instead of just leaving folks who don't have Flash wondering how they are supposed to upload. Or better yet, make a Silverlight solution. People have to have that to view most things on the website anyway.
