You can't do that with a native browser file upload dialog. That isn't the purpose of their function.
Though I must admit that your requirements are sounding a little cracked out more and more each day...Executing other processes / trying to capture local filesystem stuff....Sounds like a really really complicated web application ;) On 10/9/06, Peter Dawn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
just to add on that, if i use the upload component, then it just complicates things, i mean if i select a big file through browse and click on upload, my formSubmit method is not called and only pageBeginRender is called (i dont know why though). however if i select a very small file it happily accepts it (it goes to the formSubmit method this time). so does the upload component start to upload the file by default (or parse it). all i want to achieve is give the user the ability to browse a file and somehow capture the file location they have selected. and thats the reason for 2 emails, as i think of something, i share it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
