The code which i have put as a sample is working fine in IE
thats not what i want to happen
I want the input type=file to not be seen , only another button performing the function of the browse
Which means when i click the button(not the browse button of the input tupe=file) a popup should open asking me to select a file
ok, try this. Might need the full reference
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function showfilevalue() {
alert(document.forminput.b
}
function seconfFunction(){
document.forminput.browse.
document.forminput.file.va
document.forminput.browse.
}
</script>
<title>New Page 1</title>
</head>
<body>
<form name="forminput">
<input type=file value="Select File" name="browse" style="display:none;">
<input type=text disabled="true" name="file">
<input type="button" value="Select File"
onclick="seconfFunction();
<br>
<input type=button value="Show Filename" onclick="showfilevalue()">
</form>
</body>
either that or Firefox Mozilla might not like Click()
"click()" isn't a standard javascript method, it must be a MS extension
So this can't work in Firefox...

Here is an example to show what happens
<div align="center">
<form action="javascript:alert('
onSubmit="alert('My onSubmit event is being fired')"><br>
<input type="text" value="enter to submit"><br>
<input type="submit" name="subbut" value="*I* Am the only submit button"><br>
<input type="button" onClick="this.form.submit(
<input type="button" onClick="this.form.subbut.
</form>
<a href="#" onClick="document.forms[0]
<a href="#" onClick="document.forms[0]
</div>
