file name text box with readonly ability

[rsshetty]

I have the following piece of code:

<INPUT size ="50" type="FILE" name="DocImage" accept="image/*">

Sometimes the user enters his/her comments inside this field instead of clicking on a button to browse for the image. This creates an error.
I would like to make it readonly but if I do the file dialog box does not open.

Any ideas?

It's always in the details.

If you want, you can use

onfocus="this.blur();"

to keep someone from typing anything in.

I wasn't thinking when I wrote that. Sorry. The button and the textbox are all part of the input, so you can't move the focus away from one without affecting the other.

onkeypress="return false"

That worked. Thanks anyway.
