Yes I am aware that different browsers return different information. As I mentioned in my post I have a work around for that that I pick up from : http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2003/06/25/commons.html?page=3
It works on my development server(Win2k). It does not matter which browser is used it will find the file name with out the path. When I move it to my production box(RedHat9) the symptom arises, and IE returns the entire path. Both servers are the same version of tomcat, and the same version of commons-fileupload-1.0.zip as detailed below.
