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.
That doesn't make sense to me -- a "file" input should return (POST) the *contents* of the file, not the file name, right? Anyway, giving the full pathname on the client machine is possibly a security violation, isn't it? (i.e. the server shouldn't be able to introspect the client's filesystem). Or am I misunderstanding your question? Cheers, Terry -- Terry Hancock ( hancock at anansispaceworks.com ) Anansi Spaceworks http://www.anansispaceworks.com
