Reset Input File Value

[killboy]

Hi there.I'm working with and input type "file". After making all the operations uploading with the server script language, I need the input value to reset. This is the input:

<input name="file_upload" id="file_upload" type="file" class="label" size="60">

When I finish with the upload, via JavaScript I say

document.getElementById("file_upload").value="";

I works fine on Firefox, but IE doesn't want to do it. Anyone could tell me how to do this on IE?Thanks.

does null work better than "" ?

JavaScript isn't actually supposed to be able to modify the value attributes of inputs of type file for security reasons (e.g. file_input.value = "C:\sensitive.doc"; form.submit() ). However, you could replace the input with completely new HTML, e.g.

<div id="file_con"><input name="file_upload" id="file_upload" type="file" class="label" size="60"></div>

document.getElementById("file_con").innerHTML = "<input name=\"file_upload\" id=\"file_upload\" type=\"file\" class=\"label\" size=\"60\">";

That worked perfectly.Thanks Synook.
