Upload file on Mac?

I am in dire need of some help from any Mac user who cares to oblige.
I've created an online interface that allows a client to upload video clips from his hard drive to his online server via a simple form.
It works fine on a PC, but on a Mac the file just doesn't go. The problem seems to revolve around the form enctype. In the code it reads:
enctype="multipart/form-data"
Is this just not compatible with Macs or does anyone know what else might be wrong.

file uploads work on a mac via the browser.
what language did you write your code in? pure HTML or PHP?

It's a standard HTML form in a Coldfusion page. We've read a few articles saying that Macs may not like the bit of code I mentioned but we haven't unearthed a reason why or a solution.

enctype="multipart/form-data" works. but i am not sure i can help you since your using CF modules. i am not familiar with that.
i have created admins for quite a few sites using that enctype in conjunction with PHP, and works fine.
maybe try looking on macromedia's web site for info

Yeah it's odd. We've never had a problem before when using Coldfusion (at least, no-one's complained).
It's not a though. It's just a standard HTML form. We've done loads of admin panels and they always work. I wondered if it could be related to the browser they are using.

also possible if the person is on dial-up where the file gets cut off or the person spends to much time on the page and then the session id (if your using them) times out

I don't think it's that as they're on a broadband connection but thanks for the suggestions. They are much appreciated. I think I'll have to search more.
