Replace Upload button with background image

[maxwellk2]

New to SuperContainer but quickly learning how awesome it is, even beyond a FileMaker tool.

Not sure where to start, but I'd like to remove the 'Upload file' button and replace it with a background image that centers in the Web Viewer. Users aren't quite clear that they can simply drag a file onto the container and keep clicking on the Upload button, so I'd like to replace it with an 'upload' icon/graphic with flat text that says 'Drop file here'.

Thanks,

Max

Hi David,

I think I can hold out if it's not yet customizable, but thank you for the offer. Not sure how it would look as a style modifier 'nouploadbutton' and 'backgroundimage'?

Thanks,

Max

I had wanted something similar, and settled on a conditional path for the web viewer to point to. (I wanted to hide the upload button to force them to upload through my own scripted button with some other necessary steps.)

[color:red]If ( SCGetInfo ([destination path]) = "" ; "http://" & [path to a fixed background image] ; [destination path] )

Now it shows my background image until something gets uploaded there.

Hope that's helpful!

....although, actually, I guess that would be moot if the intent is to encourage drag-and-drop, because it would still be pointed to the the default background when they drop the new image, so it would only replace that background image. Oops.

Sorry!

No problem, it's the thought that counts. I would think it'd be in an HTML/CSS file somewhere, but those guys at 360Works know their stuff, so it's probably a little more involved than that.
