You cannot specify a default value, unless your users are running like
Internet Explorer 1.0 or something. This is a security issue, and you
cannot control this. If this were possible, people would make a form with
<input type=file value=C:\mycred itcardnumbers.t xt> and then
document.formna me.submit() it onload.

Nope, can't be done. Thankfully. Your user will have to browse for the
file.

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:

(http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/file.html#value). I really need to implement this feature, any workarounds to the problem?

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 "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
