Hi all - i realise what I'm trying to do is a big no-no in terms of security, but if a user has already accepted unsigned ActiveX objects (in this case, FSO to browse their drive) , how can I dynamically set the values of File input fields without having to make the user open the browse window?

I've created a nice visual image browser, and once the user's selected a bunch of images the idea is that they're then uploaded to the web server. However, I can't set File values in Javascript in IE. Is there an ActiveX option at all?

many thanks!
