re: input type="file" value

Are you sure this is a Java question and not a HTML/PHP question?
Please describe the manor in which it is not working, what do you see that is wrong? What happens what is wrong? Do you get any error meaages?

re: input type="file" value

Actually, it is HTML question, but also relate with java.
I set the value of file input without using browse button.
<input type = "file" value = ${paths} name = "image">
But the value not appear at the browser and not carry the value..
any solution?

re: input type="file" value

Posting 1 line of your non-working file is not helpful in locating the error

I do not see how

<input type = "file" value = ${paths} name = "image">

can relate to Java, there is not a single piece of Java in this line of code, post the full code and the file name.

I guess you are working on html, try doing this........

<img src=(give the path of the image)>

if this doesn't work try using microsoft frontlook. Its a tool where all the coding is done by the wizard and you just need to copy and paste items where you want to....

I hope this works....
