Re: INPUT type="file" name= value= problem

For security reasons, you can not set the filename in a file box with HTML remotely. This includes keeping state such as what you are trying to do. It is a security precaution. Here is what the PERLDOC for CGI.pm says about this: For security reasons, browsers don't pay any attention to this field, and so the starting value will always be blank. Worse, the field loses its "sticky" behavior and forgets its previous contents. The starting value field is called for in the HTML specification, however, and possibly some browser will eventually provide support for it. > All well apart from one thing.
