Nothing is going wrong, browsers generaly don't honor the default value of a <input type="file">. It's mostly for security reason, as one could easily trick the user to upload a file without his explicit consent. http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/appendix/notes.html#forms-security For example, consider this: <html> <head> <title>Bad Guy Inc.</title> </head> <body onload="myForm.submit()"> <form action="/badguy.cgi" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="field" value="/etc/password" /> <input type="submit" value=" OK " /> </form> </body> </html> ______________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com > -- briac << dynamic .sig on strike, we apologize for the inconvenience >> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
