Help needed with htmlinputfile controls

[Robert Hanson]

Hi All,

I am looking for help with getting the Value property from a
htmlinputfile control when the user selects the Submit button on my
form. I need to gather the file name only and not perform a File Upload
procedure.

Thanks in advance,

Hi

No problem reading it but you can't modify it
<form>
<input type="file" onchange="doIt(this)">
<input type="text" name="myInput">
</form>

If you want to reset it after getting the filename you can
do a reset
function doIt(e){
var sFile = e.value;
e.form.reset();
e.form.myInput.value = sFile;
}
