Ok, Im sorry, I know this has been asked before but here goes... Im knew enough to JSP by the way so take it easy on me :)

I have a Browse button on my JSP page, the user clicks the browse button and selects a file, the path of the file goes in to the text box associated with the Browse button.

The user can also type the path to a file (e.g. C:\file1.txt). What I want to do is check whether this file exists on the users machine.

Is this possible? If so, how?

Thanks very much for your help.

not unless you use some other aiding tech such as applets or active x controls (which are not recomended at all).
Force ur users to use the browse button, that way they will always upload a real file

Ok thanks...

Is there anyway of making the text box readonly for <input type=file..... ?
