uploading file....set default directory

[juschillinnow]

I'm creating an upload script using the usually,

<input type="file" name="userfile">

When you click on the browse button, it takes you to some off-the-wall place.

Is there a way to set a default so when the user clicks on the Browse button, it takes them to root of the computer?

Something like:

<input type="file" name="userfile" value="/usr/bin/">

or something like that

I think you were on the right track, but I got this from my HTML manual 🙁

The file input type creates a field through which users can upload files from their local computer or network. The VALUE attribute specifies the name of the initial file, but it is typically ignored by browsers as a security precaution. The ACCEPT attribute gives a comma-separated list of media types accepted, allowing the browser to filter out inappropriate files. Current browsers generally ignore the ACCEPT attribute.

Norrmally it goes to the last used dir.
