<input type="hidden" name="DocumentRef"
value="">
<input type="file" id="txtDocument"
name="Document"
maxlength="255" value="" style="font-size: xx-small; width: 50%;">
function attachmentInit(pForm){
if(pForm.Document && pForm.DocumentRef){
pForm.DocumentRef.value = pForm.Document.value;
}
}
this makes sure you have the plain text value of the files name.
just plop this in a form, have attachmentInit called on the form submit like
<form onsubmit="attachmentInit(this);">
i typically call this at the end of my validation script so that it
doesn't happen until the form contents are validated.
hope this helps.
