initializing an input type file

[blasteur]

I'm trying to set the value attribute of a fileUpload area with a javascript function, but it doesn't work...
has anyone heard about this problem ?

thanks

For security reasons, you can not set the value of an <input type="file> tag with javascript.

great thank pyro, but I'm still searching a solution to automatically upload a file with javascript... but no doubt about it, it might be hard...

It won't be hard, it will be impossible (with javascript). You need to use server side scripting. If your server supports PHP, I can tell you how to do it with that...
