using javascript to send info to 2 other text fields

[timcadieux]

I'm using the below code to allow my user to browse and pick a new thumbnail. My problem is this is my EDIT page, thus i'm loading the current thumbnail BUT there appears to be no way to fill in the filename in the File type field. I could use a hidden field, but if they do change the thumbnail, how can i capture that new info, could i edit my Jaascript to update 2 fields, the img Src and the Hidden field??

<script LANGUAGE="javascript">
<!--
// -- DISPLAY A PREVIEW OF A SELECTED IMAGE
		function DisplayImage(ImageName,ElementValue){
				document.images[ImageName].src=ElementValue;
			}

		//  End -->
</script>

                  <tr>
                    <td bgcolor="#CCCCCC"><a class="caption">Thumbnail:</a></td>
                    <td bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
					<input name="thumbnail" type="File" id="thumbnail" size="25" onChange="DisplayImage('thethumb',this.value)"></td>
                  </tr>
                  <tr bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
                    <td>&nbsp; </td>
                    <td><img src="../Images/6_1/Photo_Essays/<%=Thumbnail %>" name="thethumb" width="210" height="70" id="thethumb" > </td>
                  </tr>

I would probably start by asking in the right forum - Javascript - forum216

I asked here becuase ther MAY have been another solution other than using Javascript.

could i edit my Javascript to update 2 fields, the img Src and the Hidden field??

If you are looking for ASP alternatives to client-side JavaScript then we need to know when you expect the server to be involved in your user experience.... If the user is editing this image, are they choosing another different image that has already been sent to the browser or are they requesting a new image from the server? Or are they uploading an image?
