| 613888 | 2007-11-22 20:34:00 | Billy try switching your gmail viewing to "Basic HTML", it's right down the bottom of the page Basic HTML works without using javascript and as such the attachements box is visible by default Have a look here of what should happen in standard view (it uses javascript) nigel.geek.nz just as a point of interest have you tried an alternate browser |

| 613889 | 2007-11-22 21:47:00 | You can't send us a link to your inbox and expect it to work. Can you post a screenshot please? You misunderstand, that is exactly what the link properties are when I right click the "attach a file" link and select "properties" i.e. it goes nowhere but my inbox. I would have expected it to take me to the file attachment function!! For what it's worth my Java is not the latest. I'll fire up the laptop later and see what that does. If it does the same then it is a possibly Gmail problem in relation to a file version on my computers. I don't update everything, just the security items because if it ain't broke I see no reason to fix it. Cheers Billy 8-{) :confused: :waughh: |

I would have expected it to take me to the file attachment function!! what happens when you left click the attach file link, it won't open anything but a text box should appear where the link was For what it's worth my Java is not the latest. You shouldn't need to update anything on the computer the attachments text box is controlled by Javascript which has absolutely nothing to do with java, have you tried using the basic html option, or adding gmail to your trusted sites as mentioned earlier |

I would have expected it to take me to the file attachment function!!It should, but note that the file attachment thingy appears just below the link, not in a new window. See Nigel's screenshots for what should appear. For what it's worth my Java is not the latest.As has been said before, GMail does not use Java!. It uses JavaScript, which is a totally different language with no similarity whatsoever to Java. Is JavaScript enabled? I'll fire up the laptop later and see what that does. If it does the same then it is a possibly Gmail problem in relation to a file version on my computers. I don't update everything, just the security items because if it ain't broke I see no reason to fix it.Can you post a screenshot of your inbox please? This will allow me to determine which version of GMail you are using, as the newer version has some bugs in it. As Nigel says, switching to 'Basic HTML' mode will allow you to attach files, but it's an utter pain to use. Which browser are you using, and which version of that browser? |

| 613892 | 2007-11-25 21:23:00 | I have a problem with Gmail that seems very similar to that of Billy T's. Recently, an email with attachments was sent to my Gmail address. I could see the photographs in Gmail. I then forwarded it to my xtra address, as I wanted to use that medium to forward it to others. The email arrived without the photographs. I tried again, same result, the total kbs of the attachments came to well within the stated google standard limit. In this case I thought the photographs were worth saving and I manually attached them to my outgoing email in outlook express. That went without a hitch. I have never had a problem forwarding emails with attachments from Gmail in the past. For test purposes I tried a new email, attached a photograph and sent to myself. That arrived in outlook express complete. I am using the updated version of Gmail. I have XP and IE7, and I tried forwarding using both IE7 and Mozilla. Cheers, Marnie |

| 613893 | 2007-11-25 22:09:00 | Curiouser and curiouser: The link works fine on my laptop and a test file was sent and received OK. The laptop is configured exactly the same as the two desktops and runs W2K/Outlook 2000/IE6.01. It uses the identical version of ZoneAlarm which is also configured the same. On the other two computers the "Attach a file" link is simply dead i.e. it acts like blue text, not a hyperlink or whatever. If there are different versions of Gmail around, can somebody tell me how to differentiate them please? Cheers Billy 8-{) :confused: :confused: :confused: :mad: |
