Newbie - please forgive my ignorance.I have an upload form and I want to put a default value in the filename input.Since file inputs have no associated value="xx" method, I tried the following JavaScript using the DOM defaultValue property. I added a text input (test1) to verify that the script is executed. IE-6 correctly puts "abc" in the test1 box, but doesn't modify the file box or pass the defaultValue ("c:\test1.txt") to my PHP CGI file.Mozilla 1.7.8 doesn't appear to do anything at all.Is there something wrong with my approach or another method that would work?Thanks,John
