I'm not sure this is the right forum to ask this question but this is what I'm trying to do:

I have a form with a input element, type file. What I want to happen when a user clicks the Browse button to go get a file is for the "Choose File" dialog to open to a specified location defined by the script. For instance:

<form...>
<input name="Pic" type="file" onClick="getPic()">
</form>

in head...
function getPic() {
  myElement = document.form.Pic;
  path = "ftp://ftpsite/pictures/";
  myElement.value = path;
}

Is it possible to do this? If so, does anyone know how to achieve it?

thanx,
Bob

The 'value' attribute of the file input box is disabled in IE and Netscape for security reasons. Without that, there's no way to use javascript to open the "Choose File" dialog in a specified location.
