Can Not upload files from iPad to Content management sites?

still you can not Uploading files on the IPad to CM sites... because "Choose file" is grayed out in Moodle or any other web based content management site I use. If it's absolutely not possible I need to be going another route. No file systems means this iPad can't do simple web based tasks. Please no post on how to attach to iPad apps. I need to upload or attach files on my iPad to a web based email account or to a content management site. After a year of waiting for apple to make this more than a content viewing tool im finally getting ready to move on.

iPad, iOS 4.3.2

Hey - I may be a bit late - but I was trying to apply for jobs via job search websites and it would not give me the option to upload my CV - I was able to forward my CV via email - but that was all. Anyhow, I discovered iCabMobile (which is very much legal and costs £1.49 on the App Store) - it's a third party web browser - it works like Safari and it also allows you to store any files in the download option - it allows me to upload my CV and more documents online without any trouble.

I still use Safari, but for work (now that I have finally found one) I like to use iCabMobile as it allows me to do things that I would need my laptop for.

I hope this helps you as it has helped me - I understand we all have different needs for our iPads...

P.S It also works on my iPhone too!!

Geez.... it's apple's forum. It's got more to it than standard HTML form code.

Thank you again.

So I don't need to set anything in the iPAD ( I have the 3).

In terms of going into the setting ap, I wouldn't think so, at least in terms of what you have asked about. There are quite a few setting available there, but the default should be fine.

You've earned your compensation sir. It works like a charm, just used it on Monster. Let's hope others bother to go to the second page to find this info. Good stuff.

When I come to a web site that asks "choose file" it only lets me choose a photo file, how can I get it to choose files in places on my ipad, like my documents.
