deprecated, use:

function verify(){
var estremi = new Array();

you do not need new Array(),
as it will be reassigned by split() anyway

var entrata = new String;
var msg = new String;

new String not needed, use:

var estremi,entrata, msg

entrata = document.fs.File1.value

more complete and versatile:

entrata = document.forms['fs'].elements['File1'].value

estremi = entrata.split["-"];

This [] is your ERROR, use:

estremi = entrata.split("-");

msg = "E\' corretto questo anno? \n" + estremi[0];

Escaping the ' is not necessaty, do:

msg = "E' corretto questo anno?\n'" + estremi[0] + "'";

//all we have to do is return the return value of the confirm()
method
return confirm(msg);
}
</SCRIPT>

</HEAD>
<BODY>

<H2>To File System</H2>
<FORM method="post" encType="multipart/form-data"
action="ToFileSystem.asp" name="fs" onsubmit= "return verify()">
<INPUT type="File" name="File1">
<INPUT type="Submit" value="Upload">
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Try:

<script type='text/javascript'>
function verify(theForm){
var estremi,entrata, msg;
entrata = theForm.elements['File1'].value;
estremi = entrata.split('-');
msg = "E' corretto questo anno?\n'" + estremi[0] + "'";
return confirm(msg);
};
</script>

<FORM method='post' encType='multipart/form-data'
action='ToFileSystem.asp' onsubmit= 'return verify(this);'>
<INPUT type='File' name='File1'>
<INPUT type='Submit' value='Upload'>
</FORM>

<snipped/>

estremi = entrata.split("-");

split is a function, thus you must use "(" and ")", not
square brackets "[" and "]".

Thank you!
I used the name of the form and not "This". Mysterious javascript ;-)
