Browse widget

[Jan]

Hi,
Can anyone tell where the selection of the browse-widget is stored, the
advanced search does not show any objects with the chosen string?
Thanks,
Jan

Hi Jan,

IMO the selection isn't stored.
If the file can be imported, the content is temporarily stored at the $:/Import tiddler.

Do you mean that you want to access the name of the file that is selected by the browse widget? Sadly, browsers don’t let JavaScript access the file path for security reasons; some browsers do provide access to the filename portion, but it is only available during the event that is triggered when a file is chosen, it isn’t available as a persistent property of the control.

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Hi Jeremy, Hi Mario
Thank you for your replies and sorry for answering so late; I didn't see your replies earlier.
This is strange because the name of the file seems to be printed in the tiddlertext right after the button.
I wanted to use this to paste a relative link to a local videofile into a field used by my videotemplate.

Greetings Jan
