Hiding input type=file, access denied error

Hi All,

I need the file chooser in the jsp, just for brosing and saving the
file path in the database, so i have used the following code.I dont
need to read the file content. I have to make it hidden because in
edit mode i need to show the field prepopulated with the file path,
which doesnot happen with input type=file, it cant be shown
prepopulated. But the following code gives access denied error.Please
help.

<html>
<head>
<script>
function browseFile(){

document.form.b rowse .click();
document.form.f ilename.value=d ocument.form.br owse.value;
return true;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="test_form " method="post" action="test.js p">
<input type=file name=browse style="display: none;">
<input type=text name=filename>
<input type=button value="Select a File..." onClick="browse File();">
<input type=submit value="Submit The Form Now!">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Thanks for help.

You get that error message because you can't programatically set the
value of a file input element. It's a security violation.

He's not trying to. He's retrieving the value of the <input
type="file"...a nd assigning that to an <input type="text"...>
element.

Why he needs to do that, I don't understand. The "file" element
includes a text box that gets set to the name of the file selected. It
seems that would show the exact same thing that he's trying to show in
his "text" box.

If you change "need" to "want" you are right.

However, security is about not always getting what you want.

Good afternoon. The entire task that I'm trying to achieve is to allow a user to browse and upload multiple files simultaneously, hiding the Browse button of <input> tags of type="file" and replacing it with a button of my own background color and text. The file paths I'd like displayed in a textarea and then the files uploaded at once.
