Can anyone tell me how I can set a default value on a <input type="file"> in a form.
Ive tried value="some value" but it doesnt work.
Anyone have any suggestion?
The code Im using looks like this:
<input type="file" name="any_name" value="c:\text.txt">
the value="c:\text.txt" doesnt work.....

What exactly are you trying to do?

Is this a form to upload a file?

Yepp its a form to upload a file....
When you enter the input="file" you get a textfield and a browse-button.
When you browse the file you want the path to that file is written in the textfield...
I want to have a default value in that textfield.....and still give the user the option of browsing another file....

if that's the question, it's a simple "input" kinda question.

a normal field would go like this: <input type="text" value="googoo"> and have googoo as the default.

just try <input tye="file" value="whateverdefault">

I hav tried that but the value is ignored.... =(

I don't think you can do it. Reason. Well if you can put a default value in this field and you have a onload="submit()" then you can put any file from the clients machine to your server without them knowing. Just a guess.
