How to prevent users from typing the filename into the text box of an input type file tag, allowing only the browse button to select the file? Any ideas?

smnetto,

Is this what you're looking for?

<input name=&quot;myfile&quot; type=&quot;file&quot;>

Hi fengshui_1998,

No, i want to know how to disable the textbox of this control, to prevent users from type a invalid filename, or a file that not exists.

thanks anyway.

smnetto,

You can disable the text box using this...

<input name=&quot;mytext&quot; value=&quot;somedata&quot; onFocus=&quot;this.blur()&quot;>
