Hello

I want to use a browse button, I know it possible when i use input type file. But i want to pass through the result as a string instead of a file.

Is this possible?

So yes how????

greetings
Koen

Hi Keon109,

welcome to htmlforums.

Do you mean like this?

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function showFile() {
     document.forms[0][1].value=document.forms[0][0].value;
 }
//-->
</script>

<form action="http://www.google.com" method="get" onsubmit=" return showFile()">
</div>
<input type="file">
<input type="hidden" name="fileName">
<input type="submit">
</div>
</form>

I use google to test the submission.
