as long as you're not using the enctype="multipart/form-data" n your <form> tag, the file can't be uploaded can it?

  Subject: using <input type="file" question

  I have a form where the user can capture a link to a file.

  They click on Browse and navigate their network and point to the file they
  want to link to. (Bullet Proof browse to the file.)

  When the form is submitted I capture the full path to the file with some
  _javascript_
  kinda thing.

  Then I use that full path and store it so that when someone wants to visit
  the link they can ... (if they have permissions across their internal
  network to open/read the file).

  The issue is that even though I am only storing the full network path name
  the file is being uploaded and then discarded.

     -- Can this behavior be suppressed?

     -- Is their a way that would suppress it that would not require me to
  build an equivalent browse tool that can be used across linux/windows
  clients and cfServers?

  Thanks again to anyone who knows,
  Gonz
