[RESOLVED] Retain value of FILE box

[CRichardson]

I have a file box on my page, once the form is submitted I would like the file box to retain the string of the location of the file.

So if an error is thrown out, the box still contains a path (e.g. c:/pic.jpg).

How can I do this?

Hi,

Not possible, I'm afraid.

The file box is treated differently to other form elements.

Control of it is restricted due to security issues (it has access to the local file sytem). You cannot set a value for it at all in HTML (or javascript).

P.

PS This is not strictly PHP ... should be in Clientside Technologies Section
