oh really? try this..
<input type="file" id="fi" onchange="alert($('fi').value)" />
;)
tell me JS won't let you receive the value of a file input
now, one thing js won't let you do is set the value of the file input

Everytime I receive file=undefine. I would like to have the name of the file
You can't. It's a JS security issue. Browsers do not let you have access to the
contents or name of the file chosen via a file input. The best you can do is
wait for the user to submit it to the server(Prototype can't serialize a file
input either) and then make an Ajax request to get it back.
