    Input type file issue

    Hi ,

    I have the requirement like in
    Code:
    <html>
<body>

<form action="form_action.asp">
First name: <input type="text" name="FirstName" value="" /><br />
Last name: <input type="text" name="LastName" value="" /><br />
<input type="file" value="Submit" focus="false"/>

      Use a textbox control instead.

              Hi ,
              Code:
              <[B]input type="file"[/B] value="Submit" focus="false"/>
              if we execute this we will have text box and browse button.

              Here user can't able enter the path manually instead he needs click the browse button to find the path to upload the date

              Note : We can able to enter text in IE 7 but i got the problem in I8

                      this seems to be a security feature introduced with IE8: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2...m-changes.aspx

                          They can always just click browse and type in the path in the dialog that comes up.

                                  Yes, but as @gits said, it's a security measure that was implemented in IE8 to disallow it.
