<input type="file"> readonly

Just reading from a previous thread about multiple uploads.

I wanted to use script to create multiple input file elements that put the
path in as a default (or something like that) based on ASP code. My problem
was that the input file value property is readonly and there is no default
value.

The thing is you can cut and paste a path manually (ctrl-c,v) but I couldn't
work out how to do it from code. I thought that anything that you could do
manually you could pretty much do with code.

Any help or suggestions?

Thanks,

Jarrod

You (as a developer) cannot specify the value for an 'input type="file"'.
It's would be a huge security hole if you could.

Thanks,

Hi! I'm making a system that will generate Winamp-playlists. To make it easy for the user to add a file to the list, I'm using <input type="file">. The problem with this is that I only get the filename, not the path, which is necessary in my situation. I cracked the problem in Firefox:

I'm trying to handle the onChange event in an <input type="file"> element. In IE, there's no problem: the event fires when a file in the "open" box is doubleclicked, or the "Open" button in the box is clicked, or "Enter" is hit in the attached text box. I can get the value of the element. But in Netscape 7, onChange doesn't fire until focus leaves the element. When you double-click a file name or click "open" in the Open box, the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
