Hi,
I Appreciate all responses. But I have another question.
Instead of having
<INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="userfile1" MAXLENGTH="256">
Can we have
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="userfile1" MAXLENGTH="256" value="c:\text.txt">
I tried this, but what happens is that, when we click the attach button, I
am getting the following
message "User selected a non existent file, cannot attach file"
Any one has some thoughts on "What property will be accessed by the Imail to
retrieve the file name, when we click
the attach button"
If we know the exact property/method, we can write our own behaviour. Does
it makes sense.
Please shoot your opinions.

I'll grant you it would be nice if an event fired.
Still hard to find fault with them for the basic functionality. No one else
has improved upon it, and outside a few broken versions of Opera, all the
browsers work essentially the same. Type=file has been around since the 3.0
HTML draft, which I think pre-dates MS first IE version by nearly a year(and
if it was in the first rev of IE, it was probably that way in mosaic).
