how would I upload multiple pictures on one form with attachment\_fu. I  
followed the tutorial on [http://clarkware.com/cgi/blosxom/2007/02/24](http://clarkware.com/cgi/blosxom/2007/02/24)  
and I am able to upload one picture fine. I am just needing to upload  
a bunch of them at the same time. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Can you tell me a way which degrades gracefully,  
and works in js disabled browsers too?

Since you can’t dynamically add new elements without javascript,  
you’ll have to resort to either building a few file upload fields in  
your view from the start or just make them upload them one by one.
