This form would send itself on its load without any user interaction, effectively stealing user's c:\private\info.txt file. That's why no decent browser would allow you to preset file inputs' values.
Well, thank you for the more detailed reply Weirdan. Feyd's reply was not exactly "informational".
But now that I know it is not possible to set the value, I still need help coming up with a solution.
I have an admin program when the user adds information to a MySQL database along with uploading a picture to the server. I also allow the user to edit this information and update the picture attached to the information.
But if the user does not choose to update the picture it submits a blank value to the program, which I have programmed to display an error. Any suggestions?
I don't quite understand your requirements. Is it required to update a picture whenever information has changed? Or is it ok to update the information and leave the old picture?
