Hi Folks,

```
      When i try to upload files, its working in both Mozilla and

```

IE. But It’s not working in Safari. The reason is,mozilla has StringIO  
class and safari has string class. My controller codings are based on  
StringIO. So that its not working in safari(ie its failed to read the  
file).I cant able to proceed further. Can any one help me.

Thanks in Advance
