Hi,
I'd like your opinion on the best way to do a form validation when the form contains a file
upload object (<input type="file">)
When the form does not validate, I try to re-show all values entered by the user.
But, as far as I know, browsers do not allow to set the default value (local file path) of a FILE
component
I can get and display the default value in a label or text input, but how could I upload that file
then?
Will I be limited to display a warning message indicating that the user will have to select his/her
file again??
thank you
vincent
