Then even if a script can manipulate the field, the browser won't upload files that have not been selected by the user.Not necessarily that easy: notice that it is the user who enters the name of a target file. Unless you want to prevent the browser from accepting any files that were not chosen using a visual file selector widget - but in such a case, there's not much point in having a manual file path entry box in the first place. /mz _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
