apart from the issue whether file_name returns a string containing path or name or a real file upload (which it should, if it does not your form is buggy), IE mis-behaves (oh wonder) in revealing full paths instead of just the file name. if the form is done right you will get a HTTPFileUpload instance which behaves like a python file. it has an attribute "filename" that contains the name of the file. in IE, you get the full path, which is wrong for most applications. in all other browsers you get just the file name. jens On Wednesday, Jun 4, 2003, at 04:42 US/Eastern, Shashank Ashtikar wrote:
Hi Everyone,
This is not a Zope related question but I am posting it here since it is likely that some of you may have encountered it and solved it.
So my apologies.
I am working on a form where user is expected to browse the homes for a file and select the one he desires to be processed. I am using following statement to display the necessary control.
<input type="File" name="file_name">
On IE when I use file_name I get complete path of the file which is exactly what I desire.but on GNU/Linux based Web Browsers like mozilla, galeon etc. only name of the file is returned. How can I get the complete path even on these browsers.
The form is written entirely in dtml.
I ve looked for answers via Google but I hv not had much luck so far. It is obvious from the question that I am lame at HTML. But please help/pointers anybody.
Thanks in Advance
Shashank
