No, it'll work without javascript if you expect that in your application. Instead of having this line of code produce a javascript enabled link that dynamically inserts a new file_field box:

<%= add_attachment_link "Add a File" %>

You can instead have it post the form and return to the edit view with another empty file_field box.

It should still work with af.file_field.

Do you have an example of code that isn't working? If so, point me to it and I'll take a look.

Does the fields_for block work in this instance with af.file_field because you used javascript to create multiple upload fields? Without javascript, would you be stuck using file_field_tag to upload multiple files using attachment fu, and as a result not being able to use the fields_for block?

Thank you!,
