File input boxes

[peter_hall]

Hi,

Im trying to automatically populate a "file" type input field with data from a database (e.g. a file location previously entered).
A text input box works fine but just changing the type to "file" removes the default value from the box (making it blank)
I need to be able to use a "file" input box because of the browse button it comes with. Can anyone help?
Either that or is there code to create a seperate browse button and populate a text box with the file location selected?

Thanks for any help
Peter

Hi,

Thanks for that.

Would it be possible therefore to open up a "file browser" window, like used by a file input type box, to populate a simple text box with file location details?
