Answer 1

thanks for your help,
i had also tried this application by taking help from javazoom.upload, using multipart request,
but that is was working fine,but the problem with that was i not only hav to upload a file in the same page i also have to save other textbox value (parameters).
i have used 2-3 solutions to upload but the main prblm coming in my way is to save other information apart from uploaded file.
with that MultipartRequest i'm unable to save all those information  to mysql database.
thats why i used this way.
Note give me hint so that solution can work on both Explorer.
one more thing please tell me ,will this work on remote server ,as our site is hosted from other place ,we do't hav permission to access (in case of absolute path).
please help me out............where i'm going wrong.
thankx
