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?

Try:
<input type=file name=wf_test readonly>

As far as I know, readonly isn't supported in NetScape though.

The file input is readonly for you to put a value, only the client can select a file, you can't spécify anything. This protect the client from a site who wants to graba file in a computer.
