Do you mean you want to pop open a new window? Or submit the form to a new page?

If the latter, you'll need to give your form an action, and then you could use server-side code to pick up on the value, and deliver it back to a page.

If you have no server-side scripting available to you, you could use the get method, and then scrape the URL with client-side JavaScipt... although this is not recommended, as people with no JS won't be able to use your site. Then again, from the example code you've shown above, I doubt this is for anything serious at all.

Hope this helps,
Dan

Well you don't need any code other than what you have. You alresady have a page, with an input of type "file"... and when the user puts something in it, it has a value.

Or... if that is not what you meant, maybe you can describe your needs a bit further?

Hope this helps,
Dan

You need to provide a relative or absolute path... and it needs to be url encoded:
Code: 
<input type="file" name="file1" value="c:%5C01.jpg"/>
Some details about encoding (including an online url encoding converter) are available here:

I am assuming that you are using Windows and that you have a file called 01.jpg sitting at the top level of your C drive. Since the example I gave sets the path for c:\01.jpg

The browser is obviousl putting in a relative URL. What happens if you put in a relative URL for your own code?

Maybe you should post us a URL or some more information about what you mean by "not working".

You cannot set the inital value of a file input like that. It is a HUGE security risk. Imagine what you could do if this were possible.

You can use an outerHTML hack, I believe, to do this in IE... but not sure how cross-browser it is.
