I think you misread the spec on this. What you are looking at is a read-only
call. You will not be able to turn around and stuff that information into a
field and then submit it to the server, so you are back at the same place
you are now with all other browsers. JavaScript simply will not allow you to
put information into a file field because it is a huge security risk to the
user.
