Default value in browse button
Hello,
I can't manage to display a value in the browse field
(it work with all other kinds of fields):
<? $real_path = realpath ($JinglePathWAV); ?>
<? echo $real_path ?> // it works
<input type="file" name="jinglepath"
style="font-face : Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif ;
font-size : 9px" id="JinglePath"
value="<? echo $real_path ?>" size="35">//doesn't work:-(
// it doesn't work either with value="aaa"
according to the specs:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#h-17.4
"17.4.1 Control types created with INPUT
The control type defined by the INPUT element depends on the value of the type attribute:
...
file:
Creates a file select control. User agents may use the value of the value attribute as the initial file name"
so it surely possible but I don't know why it doesn't works... I'm open to any suggestions!

however, as vettranger pointed out, there may be some third-party controls (ActiveX,Applets) that will allow you to do this.
also, in the specs you cite, apply only to input types of text, radio, checkbox, button, and hidden -- with respect to the value attribute. (input type=file does not apply)
i think it isn't possible, because the purpose is that client itself chooses the file location.
i tried to change it with javascript but that didn't work either..
my answer is: NOT POSSIBLE... sorry.
