Absolutely right, this won't work in Mozilla. IE allows this kind of
addressing, but it's non-standard. Mozilla hews to the standards always.
This will work on both browsers:
<script language="javascript>
function getFile()
{
     o = document.getElementById("browse");
     0.click();
     document.getElementById("file").value = o.value;
}
</script>
...
<form method="get" action="boogie=woogie">
<input type="file" name="browse" id="browse" style="display:none">
<input type="text" name="file" id="file">
<input type="image" onClick="getFile()" src="browse.gif">
</form>
 

Hi, Tim,
You are a  life saver.  This is so cool.  However, the "browse" button 
in this case is not a browse button but, rather, a submit button.  Can 
you leave this as it is and also give us a submit button?  Thanks a 
ton.  This should show my partners in this crime that a submit is 
definitely possible.
