If you're saying that, you don't understand the security risk. For this to be possible, browsers would have to allow it, which means that any malicious programmer could exploit it in their own web pages. What you're really asking for is, for every user to take a risk visiting every other web page because you, Rick, are trustworthy. > Is there some way to store the string variable in the file > field and reinsert it into the file field upon re-submission? > It's a real pain to have to re-load 5 file fields because > there was an error in the form values... You could place the file upload fields in a second form that is only displayed after you've received the values from the first form. Or, you could require JavaScript and use that for form validation. There are plenty of usable solutions to solve your problem without you writing your own web browser.
