i am having one file control and clear (not reset) button.

i select one file and click the clear button, the value of the file control should be cleared

When click clear button, the contents in file control should be cleared

[Padrill]

Why don't you use a reset button?

[Gopinath]

it will refresh the total page

Do you mean one "clear" button to be associated with only one control of the form?it will refresh the total pageA reset button will set all control within its associated form to their default value, but not refresh the entire page.

the problem

i am having two combo boxes
one is subject and another one is course
when the page is loaded subject combo fills with data.
when select any data from subject combo, the course data relevant to the subject will be populated in course combo.
so, it is not possible by reset.
it will totaly remove all the data from subject combo

thanks

Use a separate form for your file field and reset button. This way only the file field will be cleared.

Eg.
<form name="form1">
<input type="text" name="course">
</form>
<form name="form2">
<input type="file">
<input type="reset">
</form>
