duh! wrong button!
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<form name="test_form" method="post" action="javascript:alert('
<input type="file" name="browse" style="display:none;">
<input type="text" name="file">
<a href="#" onClick="document.forms[0]
<input type="image" name="submit" src="submit.gif" alt="submit"></a>
</form>
<form name='dummy'>
<input type='button' value='Submit' onclick='document.forms[0]
</form>
</body>
</html>
the previous code works, but this uses an IMG tag instead of an INPUT tag:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<form name="test_form" method="post" action="javascript:alert('
<input type="file" name="browse" style="display:none;">
<input type="text" name="file">
<a href="#" onClick="document.forms[0]
<img name="browse" src="calendar.gif" alt="browse" border="0"></a>
</form>
<form name='dummy'>
<input type='button' value='Submit' onclick='document.forms[0]
</form>
</body>
</html>
thanks!
