How to populate <input type=file...> with default value?

[Don]

Is there some way to populate the "Browse" box for a <input type=file...> with a default value? I
can do it for <input type=text...>, but can't seem to do it for <input type=file...>.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Don

Stop multi-posting! Already answered in alt.php and alt.comp.lang.php

Thanks JW. Sorry about the multi-posting. I hadn't thought about the problem it poses. I wasn't
sure which group would be most appropriate. I'll be more descrete about my posting in the future.

Regards, Don

They are all on the same topic, so they are all appropriate, but I think
comp.lang.php is the natural successor of them all.

When you have doubts of which group of several is appropriate, then
chances are that people in one of the groups also reads the others,
because it is their field of interest. So there seldom is any need to do
multipost, unless you want to repost for some reason.

Another angle is that, if people don't notice it is a multipost, they
will perhaps answer it, and get annoyed or killfile-pissed when they see
that it allready was answered in another group. Or they see that it is
answered elsewhere an leave it unanswered, making it harder for other
with the same problem to find the answer.
