<input type="file"> readonly

[Jarrod]

Just reading from a previous thread about multiple uploads.

I wanted to use script to create multiple input file elements that put the
path in as a default (or something like that) based on ASP code. My problem
was that the input file value property is readonly and there is no default
value.

The thing is you can cut and paste a path manually (ctrl-c,v) but I couldn't
work out how to do it from code. I thought that anything that you could do
manually you could pretty much do with code.

Any help or suggestions?

Thanks,

Jarrod

You (as a developer) cannot specify the value for an 'input type="file"'.
It's would be a huge security hole if you could.
