Title: Set default file names in the upload

My experience with HTML and Forms is that they do NOT allow you to value of a File input form element dynamically or by specifying a default value in the HTML.  Yes, this is a security thing and I thank them for that, don't want any strange hidden File elements off screen accidently submitting my Quicken files to a server.   Sean ----- Original Message ----- From: Zhiyong Li To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2001 7:01 AM Subject: Set default file names in the upload This may not be a direct Struts question. But I hope to get the response from here ... In using the file upload, which is <FORM name=frmGroup ACTION="" METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" onsubmit="return false;">, I would like to set a default value for the file name. However, I cannot find a way to accomplish this. These are the approaches I tried;         <input type="FILE" name="F0" size=35 value="aa" class="propertyDetail"> <br> or         function setDefaultName(){                 document.frmGroup.F0.value="c:\\temp";         } I am using IE 5. I was told that for the security reason, the browser does not allow you to do this. I would like to confirm on that.
