Select. Reset. Multiple File Upload plugin for jQuery - v1.23. What this is This jQuery Multiple File Upload Plugin ($.MultiFile) is a non-obstrusive plugin for jQuery that helps users easily select multiple files for upload quickly and easily on your server whilst also providing some basic validation functionality to help developers idenfity simple errors, without having to submit the form (ie.: upload files).
What this isn't This plugin will not create a dialog that allows the user to select multiple files at once. That simply cannot be done via javascript. If that's what you need, you should consider using HTML5's multiple="multiple" attribute or one of the many other flash based file upload solutions (eg.: SWFupload, uploadify and others) How it works The plugin creates a new file input element every time the user select a file, which allows the user to select a file, then another, then another, then another and so on... selecting as many files is required, one at a time.

The approach they suggest is to display a message to the user saying it failed, and presenting them with a mailto link so they can send you an email themselves. This is one approach to the failed contact form problem, but it isn't going to help much if the problem is actually with your email address.
For example, you may have exceeded your disk quota, or you might have a badly configured mail server. Another problem with the mail solution is that it requires the user to perform another action.
