Hi Vindo..

I am using the JSF framework.. So I am using the JSF component for file dialog

<hx:fileupload id="fileupload1"
        styleClass="fileupload" accept="image/*"
        binding="#{photoGalleryEditPhotoBean.photoName}"></hx:fileupload>

It same as could as the <Input type="file"/>

I wrote the same javascript to display the dialog on click of link.

When the form is submited then the selected file path is getting cleared.

Bcoz of this I am not able to proceed the futher..

Do you know wt could be the reason..

Yes, it's a security thing. Otherwise you could arrange for a file to be uploaded without the user's full knowledge.
